"Can't Save- Program Error" Update OS?

We have now twice encountered a situation where Photoshop CS5 is "unable to save file due to a program error". This occured before and AFTER I reset Photoshop prefs -which typically fixes any corruptions resulting in operating errors. We have also had PShop freezes when the SAVE dialog has been invoked. When prefs reset does not solve the problem, I tend to suspect sytem errors. I have run disk utility & repaired disk permissions. I have not yet reset PRAM.
Unit has been mostly stabile until recently. We have NOT added any software or hardware recently.
Does resetting PRAM resest Mac system prefs? Any additional basic fixes I should run?
This MacPro has a model ID: MacPro5,1 (quad core Intel Xeon 2.8GHz, 4 core, 8gb ram. Running OS 10.6.8
Should we "upgrade" the OS? Not sure if this vintage MacPro would benefit from an upgrade. (I used to have a very stable G5 which never ran well after "upgrading" to 10.5.8)
Thanks

In the meantime,
If you do go to 10.8.3 first clean out and look for anything that would use Rosetta and PowerPC, that is gone.
I would if you have the time do a clean OS install and then Migrate or use Setup Assistant. - Lion and ML do not like carrying over old items from before and nothing of PowerPC era.
PRAM and NVRAM are unlikely as they are hardware, nor does repairing permissions.
Where are you saving to? how many drives? where? what type?
Where is scratch preference set to?
how many pageouts in Activity Monitor?
You could also create a new user account and try working from there and not copy over anything until you straighten it out.
I prefer to see the system on its own drive, scratch drive or array, media drive or array for your work and media, and the user account folders other than ~/Library NOT be on the same drive as system.
8GB RAM is minimal for what you run.

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!

To have great read/write performance, do you have to save all programs onto the SSD or can you save programs onto the HDD?

if I want to use the fast read/write speeds of my SSD, do I have to save the programs (Final Cut Pro X, Adobe After Effects, Microsoft Powerpoint, Steam, Counter-Strike, etc) onto the SSD? Or can I save all programs onto a 2nd drive which would be a HDD and still have fast speeds WITHOUT storing those programs onto the SSD? My 2012 mid Macbook Pro has a SSD as its main bootup drive and will be getting a 2tb HDD to replace the optical drive.
Any advice or comments is greatly appreciated,
Thank you!

Logic can't save document error

Logic is giving serious problems. I had my project file, a large piece for orchestra, complete balanced in mixing and was just on the point of bouncing when I got error messages that Logic could not save the document. I tried to save it as a new file, as a copy, even as a template. But every time the same message: Logic can't save this file. Then it crashed completely. I lost 4 hours of mixing work today. Very frustrating.
My hard drive has 430 GB free space so lack of space can't be the problem.

I'm having the same problem. I could scream my head off—normally I would consider doing so a waste of time, but it's at least as effective as checking the File Info window in the Finder, which is what Logic insists I have to do. I don't know if it matters, but this started happening after upgrading to Lion, which makes all sorts of insufferable changes to modifying files, and in most programs removes the Save As option. Perhaps it should be called Lyin'. Anyway, are you running Lion? And are you getting error messages saying that you don't have proper permissions, and should check the File Info window for the file?

How can i save the error message?

In the execution of the integration process, and i get
the mapping error as follow:
RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Exception:[java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot cast to float. ] in class com.sap.aii.mappingtool.flib3.Stat method sum[com.sap.aii.mappingtool.flib3.Plainer@dddd08]
Now what i want is to save this message.
How can i save this message?
Thank you for your advise and reading

Hi,
An exception name is just any string, like, "timeout"
You usually have a control step, which waits for somethime (say a minute) and then transfers the control to exception handler, who handles the exception.
but i dont know from where i get the exception?
It not required for us to know from where the exception is raised as long as you have created an exception handler.
The integration process, will search for the required exception handler and execute it. Make sure, that the exception handler is in one of the branches of the block.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Smitha.

CS3 - Will not Save, Program Error

Just ran the CS3 patch and now files are not saving. Getting a "Program Error" when attempting to Save file. Any workarounds? Would like to Save what I have been working on, including layers and masks.

Can't run programs after update

I'm running a MacBook Air. I ran the software updates yesterday. I've also run Repair Disk Permission (multiple times).
I'm not getting responses when I try to run any program (Safari, Bento, MSFT Office programs, Force Quit, anything!
Also, machine won't properly shut down or restart.
Unfortunately, I also can't get to Time Machine backups from my IMac: The following disk image couldn't be opened, user's MacBook Air.sparsebundle, Resource temporarily unavailable.

Thanks so much teekay! Okay I just did a series of tinkerings, constant "systemctl restart sickbeard" + "systemctl --system daemon-reload"'s and finally I got it working. What seemed to be wrong was having sickbeard.service in the wrong place and/or not symlinked properly, as well as I had the wrong group in "Group=" line in sickbeard.service. Also, the "ExecStart" line had "datadir=/opt/sickbeard" which had to be taken out. In case anyone else runs into this:
[Unit]
Description=SickBeard Daemon
#After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=bobby
Group=users
#ExecStart=/usr/bin/env python2 /opt/sickbeard/SickBeard.py --config /opt/sickbeard/config.ini --datadir /opt/sickbeard
ExecStart=/usr/bin/env python2 /opt/sickbeard/SickBeard.py --config %h/.sickbeard/config.ini
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This is the sickbeard.service file which I put in /usr/lib/systemd/system/, and then made a symlink to it from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants. Finally I reloaded the daemons after restarting the sickbeard and it's up (tested in browser as well of course):
sickbeard.service loaded active running SickBeard Daemon
Thanks for the help!

ITunes Can't save library error -50

I've been getting this error message for a couple of days now. How do I get it to start saving the library again?

There's a little known trick you can perform to restore your iTunes library from the XML file. On the Mac, go to ~/Music/iTunes. There you will see two files named iTunes Library (ITL and XML). Delete these files and launch iTunes. iTunes will create new library files with proper permissions. Now, replace the XML file with your backup. Open the ITL file in a text editor, such as BBEdit, select all, delete, and save. You could also try replacing the ITL file with an empty text document but I'm not sure this would have the right file permissions. Now you should have your backed up XML library file and a 0 KB ITL file. Launch iTunes. It will start importing the data from your XML file and restore the library. Unfortunately, your view settings will be reset because this information is kept only in the ITL file.
Hopefully an Apple engineer will have a simpler fix for the file permissions problem but if not, this should help you upgrade to 7.3. I'm trying it right now on my library.

Can't save file: Error Code 0

I'm having trouble saving my files using InDesign CS5. The following message comes up: Cannot save... the file "DBTmp534-829951059" is damaged (error code: 0) (Also this affects saving my "Word" documents.) Please help! This project is due tomorrow! Thanks!
P.S. I tried to follow one of the prior suggestions I saw under troubleshooting, but couldn't find the file to delete.

This is a file problem, not something that is likey to be fixed by deleting anything. That's a very serious error, are you still able to open the file? If you can try exporting to .idml and see if that can be saved to a new name. See Remove minor corruption by exporting

Can't save file: error message states -unbalanced tag..

<body class="twoColElsLtHdr">
I am not able to 'save as' a file I created yesterday. An error message box comes up & states that line 249 is an 'unbalanced tag' I am hoping someone can explain what I need to do to get this problem resolved. I was making a 'blurb optin page' just playing around with the newly downloaded DW & ended up (kinda) liking what I had made by the seat of my pants not knowing obviously what I was doing. I inserted a 1shoppingcart html at one point & that is when things got screwey...Line 249 is very close to where I inserted the extra html code... Can someone help me please? ... The unbalanced tag is listed above. I don't know if this is all the info that would be needed for the solution.... Please let me know...
I thank you... Mae

Could also mean there is an unclosed tag of some sort either a div, a table, .. it's only a guessing game without actually seeing the working page.
Could you upload the page (and associated files) to a server and provide a link.
Another way would be to put the page through the html validator and see if it picks up where the error is;
HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org

Can't save library error -54

This error has just started to pop up all the time. What library is it referring to? Where is it stored?
In my iTunes folder I see both iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml.
Also under file menu I see Library export, so I quickly exported the file.
I am still using iTunes 10.7, Mountain Lion 10.8.2, an external drive for my iTunes media.
The search results here show errors of -50, not -54

I do not have the media on an external drive. I forgot that I moved it to the same drive the system is on.

Hi,
The issue is related to the temporary files when we using the Word 2013.
Look for anything ending with a TMP file extension or anything that starts with a dollar sign ($). Anything with the TMP extension can be deleted outright; anything that starts with a dollar sign can be deleted if it appears that the file is simply a Word
document with the dollar sign added as a prefix. You can find more information about Word's use of temporary files at this page in the Knowledge Base:
