Can't save sometimes during Indesign

sometimes when i work in Indesign CC i cant save my work anymore. Its completly random i think. At first i thought it happened when i made an angle with my Bamboo graphic tablet. But that was not the reason.
Most of the time somewhere during my work a textframe doesnt move and then i cant save anymore. And all my work is gone.
I already did all my updates. Asswell as my Wacom Tablet, and updated my work memory from 4gb tot 8gb. But it doesnt help.
Somebody know the answer to this irritating problem?

This is not a solution, however if you "save as" an .idml file you won't lose your work, and you can recover what you worked on by opening the .idml file. I have used this when my save option was greyed out and unusable.

  • 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 not Save file name " InDesign CS6 - Cloud---WTF!

    Hello anyone
    This new Cloud Adobe CS6 is SO buggy.
    not my first issue with it...
    I am using
    Cloud version of - but locally installed
    Trial version of CS6 InDesign.
    iMac - mountain lion 10.8.1
    i7/12Gig RAM. SSD, and 1 T platter drive.
    Anyway-
    After many HOURS of InDesign work.
    Many pages, lots of stuff.
    I exported my work as PDF to send to my boss. Worked fine.
    But I can't save the working file.
    All Save menu items are grayed out.
    The astericks is there in the window title.
    When I just close the file- I am prompted to Save the file or lose my work.
    I hit Save and get window
    "can not save filename"
    with no error code.
    NOTHING!
    This has happened twice. First time not a lot had been done to the file.
    So I just re-started the iMac
    This time I stand to lose some real work here.
    Does this happen if I just use the free version!?!?!?!?
    I will happily pay after my trial but if this is what the new CS6 has in store, then screw Adobe.
    Can anyone help me???

    There's no difference in fuctionality between paid and free versions.
    There are two things worth trying, if you haven't already closed and lost the file. The first is to export to .idml, open that and see if you can save it with a new name: Remove minor corruption by exporting
    The second is riskier as it depends on ID's amazing file recovery after a crash. If the method above fails you haven't got a lot to lose, though, so here here's the next thing I would try:
    Force Quit Indesign. See Replace Your Preferences and use the manual method to replace the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData files (and while you're at it, make a backup copy of the InDesign Recovery folder). Also see Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup and delete the additional files in John's post. If you need to delete or copy hidden files and don't know how to access them, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
    When all that is done, restart InDesign. With luck, autorecovery will open the file again with not much missing and you can try to save it.

  • How can I save down from InDesign CS5 to Indesign CS2?

    Is it possible to save a file from cs5 to cs2?
    Thank you

    Yes, but only if you have CS4.  Be aware that it opens up a can of worms of potential problems but should be OK for less complex documents in one off cases.
    To do it export an idml from CS5, open in CS4 and export a inx file.  Then go here and follow the instructions, or just do the same thing in CS3 if you have that.

  • Can i save a compatible InDesign CS2 document with CC?

    Hi, I need to save a document in InDesign CC created in InDesign CS2 and continue open it in CS2
    It is a way to do it?
    thanks

    Export to IDML from CC. Open the IDML in CS4 and then export to INX. Open the INX in CS3 and export that to INX again.
    If the layout is still recognizable it will be a miracle.

  • Suddenly can't save any adobe products in a root folder

    can only save adobe documents (indesign, illustrator, photoshop) in a main folder and not able to save into a sub folder.  thoughts?

    ... could that be Snow Leopard? (If so, check for any non-alphanumeric characters in your path and file names.)

  • Can't save an InDesign file

    Often when I try to save an open InDesign file, it tells me "can't save file" and I have to use "Save As."
    It seems to be that sometimes documents are opened as "Read Only"
    How do I avoid this?

    Well you're savvy enough to understand Read Only...
    What OS? Local files or across a network?
    Check to see if there is an existing lock file in the target directy.

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • InDesign 7 Can't Save File

    I had not used InDesign for a while on my machine.
    Now, when I try to save a file I get the message:
    Cannot save "Untitled-X" under a new name.
    The file "DBTmpnnnnnnnnnnnn" is damaged (Error Code: 0)
    How do I correct? Thanks.

    All files, or just one? This is a very serious error and generally means the file is damaged beyond recovery in ID. You may be able to have Markzware recover it, or if the file still opens you can export the stories to InDesign Tagged Text and import them into a new file and re-impor tnay graphical content.

  • How can I save the modulation I apply to an instrument during recording such that it remains during playback?

    How can I save the modulation I apply to an instrument during recording such that it remains during playback? For example, I apply modulation #8 during recording, but when I play the track back the modulation is not incorporated.

    Hi Vlad,
    Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to programmatically read the voltage output to the drive, as the voltage is all determined internally by the controller circuitry on the board. Depending on the controller though, you may be able to physically route the output terminal to a spare analog input channel and read in the voltage that way. This example Analog Input with 73xx Motion Card shows you how to program LabVIEW to do this. 

  • Can't save as 'eps' in Indesign cs6 trial.

    I am trying to design a logo and I am using a trial version of Indesign cs6. However, it will not let me "save as" an eps file. It only allows 'indesign cc template", "indesign cc document" and "Indesign CS4 or later".  How can I save my logo as an 'eps' on a transparent background so I can use it in the creation of my business card?

    All the google help pages say that you can save an eps file on a transparent background
    For example; http://smallbusiness.chron.com/create-eps-file-transparent-background-52652.html
    But I don't have the option in my Indesign "save as" > "format" drop down menu. It is so frustrating.
    I have been able to do it before, in Indesign cs6 on a PC.
    When you save a logo as an 'eps' file you onle see the actual logo making it very easy and functional to work with when using the logo to create a design. When you save it as anythig else the logo appears on a white page. Like a letterhead. on a document.

  • Can't save any file with any name-InDesign CC

    can't save any file with any name-file DBTmp4376-863643269 is damaged (error code:0)
    InDesign CC, OS version 10.9.1
    I explored solutions to failure in background task alert which did not work. Been using adobe products since they came on the scene. Nothing like this. Please help.

    I'm using version 9.2.
    Yes, it started with a new file. Support gave me the solution to save it to my desktop which worked. When I put it back in the original folder and opened/save it would not save to that folder. Created a new folder and was able to open & save to the new folder. That seems to be a workable solution. How a folder can become corrupt is a bit scarey.
    In experimenting with solutions I received another error "failure in background task alert" and discovered CS5 problems with background task.
    However the solutions for CS5 did not work in my incidence.
    I sure would like to prevent this from happening again. If you have any insights please share them. Otherwise I will just accept the experience as another computer workaround and be thankful that I have it.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Sometimes I can't save pages as documents or I can't close the USB

    Sometimes I can't save documents I am working on pages, as word documents, and sometimes I can't expulse the USB. I recently installed Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. I bought it in 2012.
    Sometimes it says documents I am working are incompatible and can't be save, but are new documents and It won't save the changes I make to the documents.

    What was your old system?
    What is your new System?
    What version of Pages?
    How did you install it?
    I don't know if you can see what's on my screen, but I definitely can't see what's on yours.
    To Install Word, buy it and follow the instructions.

  • Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK?

    Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK? Want to upgrade to CS6 but must I must still remain compatible with work. They are using CS5.

    To clarify your answer for Illustrator.  The option is not in the "Save As" dialog box.
    The correct answer is
    Open you CS6 Illustrator file.
    File>Save As 
    The Save As dialog box opens
    Type your file name (DIFFERENT THAN ORIGINAL PLEASE!) and the Save as Type is still going to be Adobe Illustrator (*.AI)   **This is where the above instructions threw me, as the Save as type drop down does not list anything about versions to save fo)
    Click Save
    Once you click Save, the Illustrator Options dialog box will come up.  The first option is titled Version and has a drop down menu.  Select the version of illustrator you want to save your file as here, then click ok.
    Your done.
    I strongly suggest you give this file a different name than your original CS6 Illustrator version as you may lose some parts of your design in the conversion.
    Hope this helps.  Enjoy!

  • Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

    We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.
