Can't save swatch library in ID 5.5

Hi,
I've just spent a half hour creating a new swatch palette of our company colors. I want to save them all out as a swatch library file. But, the "save as" pulldown choice is grayed out. Why? I know I've used this function before.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi again,
I've just tested it, and found that once you save your swatches from InDesign, you need to move the resulting ASE file to the Illustrator>Presets>Swatches folder, and then open Illustrator. Once there, go to Swatches Panel, and in the options pull-down, you'll now see your custom library in the list, without having to search for it. It doesn't behave quite the same as a swatch book file, but you'll easy access to it from the pull-down menu.
Cheers!
Mikey
Just checked again. And it indeed DOES open automatically, but you have to restart Illustrator first. If this works, then just check this message as solved.
Cheers again!
Mikey

  • Can't save iTunes library file

    hi
    all of a sudden i've started continuously getting an error message in iTunes 7.6.2.9 saying 'the itunes library file cannot be saved. you do not have enough access priviledges for this operation.'
    i haven't changed anything on itunes or my computer settings recently.
    please can anyone help?
    Thanks

    My main computer is a WinXP Home machine, and I had the same problem. iTunes wouldn't update play count, or save the changes I made to album art or genre. I solved it by uninstalling MediaMonkey. I think MediaMonkey was interfering with iTunes updating my files. Perhaps you have a program that tries to monitor changes to your library and prevents any other program from making changes to files within that library. Hope it helps. Good luck

  • I'm trying to add pictures to my ripped movies in my library but it keeps telling me it can't save the library because there's not enough memory. There is plenty on my hard drive, is there a setting that lets you increase the amount of memory?

    I get a window popping up that says "The library iTunes file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available.".  I have 980GB free, I don't understand how to change a setting or what ever is causing it.

    Hello Wyodor,
    thanks for your reply on my question.
    You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
    And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
    Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
    No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
    and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
    But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)

  • Can't save iTunes library error (-50) (Windows 7)

    Hello, everyone!
    I need to transfer my iTunes library from PC to Mac, unfortunately i can't copy&paste folders from iTunesMedia because my music allocates in different folders on my drive. I tried " File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Consolidate files ", it had copied only half of my music when error (-50) appeared. I checked .TMP files in Downloads, but there is no any and all downloads complete (Store->Check for available downloads). Firewalls, browsers and antivirus are closed.
    Can anyone suggest the way to fix "error(-50)" problem, please? or different way to transfer my library to Mac...
    Thank you for looking.

    I don't have an solution for you, but thought I'd tell you that a -54 is a permissions error.

  • Message:  can't save ipod library you don't have access

    When I synch, I often get a message saying I don't have access privileges to save the iTunes library.
    Why? and what does it mean?  How do I get rid of it?

    Or it could be that the form was shared to you initially and the author removed you from the sharing list. I'm saying that because the author of the form is someone from your company but not under your name.

  • Can't save itunes library -error (-54)

    I get the following error when I am importing from a retail CD:the itunes music library file cannot be saved. an unknown error occurred (-54)
    Although all info appears in iTunes fields (name, title, artist,etc, when I attempt to burn, it only burnes TRACK 01, etc with not actual library detail.
    I have moved itunes libary and itunes music library.xml out of iTunes folder and reimported the files, but still have the same problem.
    Running disk utility (repair permissions) from install CD gives error that it lost connection to manager and never completes the process. Disk repair run shows OK.
    any other suggestions?

  • Can I save my library content? Such as ratings, song plays, dates, etc...

    I need to un- then reinstall iTunes because I keep getting an error message when trying to update. The error message says something along the lines of "A program did not run as part of the setup. Contact support..." So following, the sites run-thru I'm gonna try to un- and reinstall but I wanna keep all my info that I've built up over the years such as song plays, the dates added, all my ratings and playlists and all that. Any thoughts?

    becuz I have all my music files, I just do not want to lose my song statistics. does that make sense?
    Also, I cant just move the folder becuz i have to start completely fresh, no old files, im trying to update it, but the installer errors and can not complete it

  • Can't save library files

    iTunes is giving me an error message that reads something like: "Can't save iTunes library file. An unknown error has occurred: -48."
    What does this mean? What should I do? I had backed up my iTunes files this morning--copied them over to a portable HD; but I didn't change, move or alter the files.

    I'm having this problem too. Did you ever get a solution?

  • Cs6, mac, gradients iconsistent colour using swatch library

    Hi all
    Wondering if you can help?
    Using Mac 10.6.8 and Ilustrator CS6.
    I'm drawing up some items [300] that are coloured in 1 of 10 gradients.
    On the first two drawings I had the 10 swatches and then selected the 'Save swatch library as AI...'  command from the swatches file.
    On the next drawings I loaded this swatch library and coloured up the rest of the drawings, using some of the 10 colours.
    Now, when I look through the illustrations, there are some colour differences on various files. In the swatch palette there are multiple versions of my original swatch colours with numbers on the end... I did not create these ... i.e. 'Red Gradient 2', 'Red Gradient 3'
    Where did these come from?
    When checking the gradients, they are indeed slightly different colours... HOW? they were all from the same swatch library?
    The black gradient is also the same, it's not the same colour and there are 2 & 3 names derivatives.
    All files are RGB colour mode, and have ADOBE RGB 1998 colour profile attached.
    Any advice appreciated.
    GS

    @Michael – I second that!
    On with my example shown in #2:
    There is a hidden feature in the Gradient Panel:
    With a right-click in the "red area" I marked in the following screen shot, you can add a new gradient swatch to the swatches panel:
    That will not work in other areas of that panel…

  • CS3 - Cannot save swatches as AI or ASE

    I have previously created custom swatch libraries in both .ai and .ase formats. For some reason, this is no longer possible. For example, after clicking Save Save Swatch Library as ASE, the standard window appears, but no matter what I try to name the file or where I try to save it, nothing happens. The window just sits open after I click Save. No error message...nothing. This must be something painfully simple. Any help is appreciated.
    I have already rebooted, tried other files, tried other swatches, and even reinstalled Illustrator. Previously created swatch files open without issue.

    I must say that I'm a bit confused as you are trying to make swatches out of illustrator but wanting to use them in indesign? Why not create the swatches from indesign instead or load them into indesign directly as Illustrator and Indesign can open the same swatch pallettes? You are creating more work.
    But if you must...
    Try deleting your preferences for Illustrator and then try saving your swatch pallette again and see if that helps.

  • I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
    Pasted from another thread
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Help! Can't save to disc/backup my iTunes! NO OPTION to save OR back up to disc my iTunes Library appears in the toolbar when I select 'File', then 'Library'. Just 'Organize Library...', 'Export Library...', 'Import Playlist...', and 'Export Playlist...'

    Help! I can't save to disc OR backup my iTunes Library! iTunes support instructions are to simply select 'File', then 'Library', then select 'Back Up to Disc', but when I try to the only options that appear are 'Organize Library...', 'Export Library...' then below those are 'Import Playlist...' and 'Export Playlist...' (which appears in the list, but I cannot select). No option to save my library appears at all. Just those four. I've had no problems syncing, playing, adding or purchasing with my account and my iTunes version is up to date. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and what I should do so I can save my library?
