Can't save preferences for CD burner?

I'm trying to change the DVD Rom that I use to burn CDs under "Edit - Preferences - Advanced - Burning". The desired DVD Rom is shown in the pull-down menu but I can't seem to save this preference and it keeps pointing to the wrong device.
Any thoughts?

Please excuse me, I found the recalcitrant files & moving them to my desktop did indeed save the day again. In case anyone else encounters a similar problem the files in question are located at: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/ (you need to hold down the option/alt key to see the library folder), and they're the "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings" folder, & the file "com.adobe.Photoshop.plist"
Now I get to try these cool new features!

How can I save passwords for URL's

How can I save passwords for URL's? I just installed 10.6.7 Snow Leopard. I also had to format my HD drive and reinstall my software.

Hi,
From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Select the box next to:
User names and passwords.
Navigate to a site you normally log into with the user name and password. Click Yes when prompted. That will save that information to a new keychain for you.
Passwords are actually stored in your Keychain Access application. (Applications/Utilities)

How do I get past, "Can't save preferences message" in PS CS6?

Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder.
Get me past this message. Please! Nothing I have read applies exactly to eliminating this infuriating message. How do I get past, “Can’t save preferences message” in PS CS6?

Thanks for showing an interest… But!
I have tried all the regular stuff. This problem only showed up in OSX Lion. Up till then all was well at Snow Leopard and Adobe CS5.5 Suite. After upgrading to OSX Lion all Hell broke loose. Quite a catastrophe of conflicts. In Design wouldn’t launch. A problem with Suitcase Fusion 4. But PS CS6 had two major problems. One the Epson Artisan 835 could not be seen in Imports. A conflict between 32 and 64 bit formats and again, drivers. But the most persistent and perplexing problem has been that of the preferences. Oh and one other thing, whenever you quit the program, PS CS6, a message appears saying that the program has quit for no good reason and did I want to send a report to Adobe and/or Mac. Well I must have sent them a thousand reports. What I most suspect is file damage and incompatibility. What I have tried has not found the files to replace those that will reset themselves. i.e. .plst etc. without buggering up the works. I have tried to figure out what might have caused such changes between Snow and Lion other than the well known differences regarding supported stuff, formats and out of date software i.e. Rosetta. Some how or other I suspect damaged files. The kind of damage where a single character is missing and nothing works but no file checker in the world can detect as screwing up the works. Now in several cases a lot of re-installation has been done. But again no help. So putting a finger on the culprit file(s) has not been easy. Fortunately this machine has four active drives so reverting back to where all was OK is easy. But as for going forward, well that is at a standstill.
So, if any body out there has any insight to these three problems I would be most interested to see what you got.
Many Thanks

I can't find preferences for the notes app. and every once in awhile some of my notes just disappear at start up, I see the name and then it refreshes and they are gone, very annoying. Can anyone tell me why it does this and how to stop it? thanks

Can't Save Preferences Because File is Locked?

I just had to reinstall after a wipe of my Mac. Program opens, I can use it, but when I quit it I get this message:
Could not save preferences because the file is locked or you do no have the necessary privilieges. Use the "get info" command in the Finder to unlock or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders.
I went into Applications, right clicked on the CS5 icon, which brought up the "get Info" box. At the bottom, under Sharing & Permissions it says I have custome access; Me: read & write
System, read & write
Admin, read & write
everyone, read only
On the "everyone" the only choices I have are read only, write only or no access.
How can I fix this?

The preferences are not written into the application, so you're looking in the wrong place. The main preferences file for CS5 should be:
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Prefs.psp
To locate it, copy the following path, press Shift+Cmd+G in Finder, paste the path and hit Go:
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings/
If you have Ps CS5.1, replace "CS5" with "CS5.1" in the above.

Can't save preferences in CS5

When I close PS CS5 I get an error message that "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges...." Searching other threads it appears that some people were able to solve this problem by going into User/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 and changing the permissions to Read & Write. But on my computer I have two choices User/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Paths/Prefs or User/Library/Preference/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings. Logically it seems I ought to be able to open the User/Library...CS5 Paths/Prefs dialogue box and change the Sharing and Permissions for Me and "everyone" to Read & Write. So I unlock the box, enter my password, change preferences to Read & Write, close out of the dialogue box, close out of the finder and reopen CS5. But when I close CS5, I still get the error message. When I go back to User/Library...CS5 Paths/Prefs and reopen the dialogue box, I see that "everyone" is reset to Read only. I have tried restarting the computer after resetting the permissions and before opening CS5 but no difference. I have tried this when PS CS5 is open and when it is not open and still no difference. How do I get the revised Read & Write permissions to stick?

Sorry, I tried that too and it still does not preserve the Read & Write permission for "everyone" once I open CS5.
Here is what I am doing: navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/Karl (Me)/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photshop CS5 Paths/Prefs > click on More Info > unlock >change everyone to Read & Write > relock > close windows in Finder > open CS5 > close CS5 > same error message>permissions reset to everyone to read only. By the way karl(me) has always had Read & Write permissions.
I'm stumped.

Can't save location for Trash at Server Settings (IMAP setting).

Hi,
I'd like to set a folder (one under an account name) to move messages to when deleting messages with IMAP.
I can't select Trash under an account name at Server Settings. I can only select Trash under "Inbox" under the account name.
I find that the folder settting was not saved at all. Folders settings for sent messages and drafts are OK.
How can I save a folder setting (one under an account name) for deleted messages ?
I guess this situation results to 2 Trashes (one under the account name and oner under "Inbox" under the account name). In fact, I have a trouble deleting Trash under "Inbox" under the account name.
Thanks in advance for any advices or clues for the solution or workaround.

(addition to the question)
To be exact, folder selection pull-down menu doesn't start with the account name, rather, start with "Inbox", therefore, I can only choose Trash under "Inbox".

I can't locate preferences so that I can turn my FaceTime on. I can call someone on FaceTime but they can't call me...have looked everywhere for it. I have MacPro OS X.

HT204379 Is it possible to reset or delete the screen saver preferences for default?

When I go to change my screen saver preferences it asks me to log into my server before it shows me my photo options, I was wondering if there was a way to reset that so it didn't pop up each time I go to screen saver preferences.

Well that was my though as well and yet....hah.
In a single page multi-state environment you say I shouldn't be able to pull the page off the screen (and then have it snap back) vertically with "horizontal swipe only" checked off?

Can you save down for me?

My computer is in the shop and I only have access to CS5 right now. Can anyone save a file down from InDesign CC to 5?

You can do it yourself. Use IDML format.

How can I save previews for old projects, while burning the project to DVD?

I'll admit, I haven't read the user manual cover to cover (or screen to screen for the electronic version), and haven't spent hours combing the discussions here, but I have searched for all the relevant keywords I can think of and can't find a concise answer to this question.
I get the basic idea of Vaults (I think), but haven't found much info about long term storage of projects. I'm fulltime freelance, but not super busy, and I can easily generate 100,000 images each year. I don't have the cash to be keeping all of these images in Aperture projects on external hard drives for eternity, and I'd be surprised if anyone else does. Good thing I'm not a medium format digital shooter producing 50GB each day huh?
I remember seeing a clip of a photographer 2 or 3 years ago discussing the differences between storing digital and film images. He was making the point that throwing away files you don't think you'll need again can be a mistake, citing a shot he had of Clinton and Lewinsky together, before Clinton and Lewinsky were news. "If I'd been shooting digital, that image wouldn't exist today". It was a great pic, and when that whoel scandal erupted, it made him alot of money.
So at present I'm storing every image I take in finished projects on DVD trusting that in the future I'll be looking for a shot of someone I may have shot 5, 10, 15 years ago.
I caught part of a discussion that talked about keeping the preview files for all the images (and subsequent versions) for each project. I'd love to be able to keep lo-res previews/copies of everything I've shot to date, and have them immediately accessible on my hard drive, while my full size projects are safely stored on DVD, taking up space on a bookshelf rather than on my hard drive. Loading 10 DVD's worth of projects to see what's inside them is a headache I'd like to avoid if possible, in favour of instantly checking out lo-res previews to look a shot up.
Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?

hello, kiwi
quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
yes.
maybe,...
1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
or,
2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

How do I save preferences for automatically filled in text box?

G'day
I've got a popup button that lists all the external disks on my computer, and when a user picks a particular file on one of them, the path is displayed in a text field.
If I edit the field, it's saved automatically, but how do I save/update the preference bindings without editing please?
Regards
Santa

it's OK, I figured it out. For posterity...
First define the property...
property NSUserDefaults : class "NSUserDefaults"
then to read...
tell standardUserDefaults() of NSUserDefaults
set tempDiskPath to objectForKey_("DiskPath")
set tempDayReportDisplay to objectForKey_("DayReportDisplay")
set thetempYears1 to objectForKey_("theYearsStrings")
set tempYear to objectForKey_("tempYear")
set theDayYears1 to objectForKey_("theDayYearsStrings")
set tempdayYear to objectForKey_("tempdayYear")
end tell
the to write...
on applicationShouldTerminate_(sender)
-- Insert code here to do any housekeeping before your application quits
set tempDiskPath to DiskPath's stringValue() as text
set tempDayReportDisplay to DayReportDisplay's stringValue() as text
set thetempYears1 to (theYear's itemTitles()) as list
set tempYear to theYear's titleOfSelectedItem() as text
set theDayYears1 to (DayReportYear's itemTitles()) as list
set tempdayYear to DayReportYear's titleOfSelectedItem() as text
tell standardUserDefaults() of NSUserDefaults
setObjectforKey(tempDiskPath, "DiskPath")
setObjectforKey(tempDayReportDisplay, "DayReportDisplay")
setObjectforKey(thetempYears1, "theYearsStrings")
setObjectforKey(tempYear, "tempYear")
setObjectforKey(theDayYears1, "theDayYearsStrings")

I'm unable to save preferences for mailbox behaviors for Gmail accounts in Mavericks mail

when I uncheck the checkboxes beside Drafts, Sent and Junk and save the changes for my Gmail account they end up checked again. Why is this and how can I make it accept the changes?

I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others.
