Cannot save a file

I recently upgraded my OSX. I am not certain if that is the cause of this behaviour or not, but here is what is happening...
I am trying to save a file to my MacBook hard drive and the save button in my finder dialog box is greyed out. I do not know why and whatever I have tried cannot make the button active. Any help would be appreciated.
Let me know if you require more information.
Clay

To be honest, I had not tried that since I save most of my stuff in the cloud. I tried a simple text file and it saved ok. The program I am trying to save is called First Edge. It is accounting software. The file I am trying to save is a backup file. It is a .sit file.
Any ideas?

Keep getting Cannot save library file error -50 message on my PC

I keep getting "cannot save library file error -50 when I open up iTunes on my PC
Won't download music purchased on iPhone4 to iTunes in my PC

Same issue here. Running Windows Vista Home Premium Edition and newest version of iTunes. Normally happens when I am ripping a CD into iTunes and by chance multi task or the screen saver kicks in.
What ***** is if you walk away while ripping a CD(because it takes 3 times as long in iTunes vs any other ripper), and it will halt your ripping until you click "ok". I have not tried the "dont tell me again" check box just in case it is a problem I need to know about. This happened about 2 or 3 days after upgrading to Vista and I got an empty library the next time I opened the library. Somehow it got corrupted. Luckily I back up the xml file and just restored that one file from last back up.
(off subject but also getting the maxed our processor still in the newest version for Windows Vista. Wish they would fix that!)

Help Cannot Save As File

I'm a brand new InDesign user. Have had one class and am expected to do all types of collateral here at work. I've opened files, started designing but when I click Save As, the whole thing freezes up. The only way out is to cancel through the task manager. I have InDesign CS3 running on Microsoft XP. The same thing happens if I try Save As in Photoshop. I am not going to be very effective if I cannot save my work. I am in marketing and not a techie. So if any one could help me without having to know a tremendous amount about program set up it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Actually, Escape does get me

Sounds like the save dialog is off the screen. Does escape get you back
to work? Is your monitor set to native resolution?

Cannot save jpg files in outlook express

Is there a problem sending a jpg file from Apple mail to outlook express? People I am sending to say they can see the photo, but cannot save the file.

Do you have the "send Windows friendly files" checked? Other than that, there isn't much you can do that I know of; it is the recipient's ISP server/settings and their mail client settings that determine the remainder.

"I received a PDF File via email,I can fill out the text box but I cannot save the file."

I sent a PDF file to someone via email, they were able to fill out the form but they cannot save the file to send back, I have checked the security properties and there were no restrictions. Do I need to save the PDF a specific way? I have sent it to others that have Acrobat Pro and are able to save but those without Acrobat are unable to save. Please advise!
Thank you!

Hi MSMistry1,
Users with Adobe Reader 8 and later will be able to save form data if you save the form as a Reader Extended PDF with Enable Additional Features selected. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e0d.w .html

I get this message when I am trying to save a file that was done in CS4, now using CS6 "Cannot save the file as the font "ArmenianLSU-italic" could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions. Turn off the pdf compatibility option and try again." Even if I start a new file I unable to save it with this font. I need to use this font.

Then you need to outline all text before savng the PDF.
Make sure you do this on a copy of the file.

I am trying to download iTunes, but cannot save the file because the thank you page comes up right away.

I am trying to download itunes 11.1.3.
I cannot save the file,ItunesSetup.exe.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

I keep getting error message (cannot save as "file name" because of a program error)

I opened a pdf in photoshop and when I need to save it back as a pdf i get this error (cannot save as "file name" because of a program error). I need to save it specifically as PDF/X-1a:2001 but the only pdf options that will work are "highest quality print" and "smallest file size". None of the others work. I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a PC laptop and I tried it on my desktop and also a mac running CS 5.5 and always get the same error. I think the problem might be with the custom color settings I have but it works fine on my work computer with the same color settings. What could be going on?

Yes, it's probably related to your color settings in some way. Why you are doing it in the first place...? Since they are ISO standards there is simply no liberty in choosing arbitrary settings for PDF/X, especially the archicval flavors... So in conclusion you will have to make your color settings compliant. The crash itself is probably a bug in the PDF libraries and it may work at your office because there you may use a different version of Acrobat/ Adobe Reader and the associated PDF libraries which do not have this bug. Still, the initial issue remains: You need to work within the spec, not against it.

Cannot save Numbers files to our Mac OS X Server (10.6.8) due to permissions problems.

This is not a univeral problem, only a few people see it, and sometimes only with certain locations of our server. They cannot save Numbers file to the server but they can save it to their desktop and then drag the file to the file server. I have reset permissions for the locations in question to no avail. Any suggestions?In the latest case the iMac is running 10.6.8 and Numbers 2.3.

Paul,
This is a long-standing problem with no resolution that I am aware of except to not save iWork documents directly to a server.

That button is not the Save As button, really, but a link to the DNG converter. To save your raw file in an image format, click the Open button instead and then save in the format of your choice in the editor.

"You don't have permission to save in this location." Cannot save any files anywhere. All permissions open, all other browsers save OK in same place. Why?

I cannot save any files anywhere. I always get the message "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the {} folder instead?"
I have created a clean profile in Profile Manager, and used the Reset Firefox tool. The only way I can save files is to use another browser. IE and Chrome have no problems saving files to the exact same folders.
This seemed to have started with the last update on 10/5/2013.

Maybe something changed in the program shortcut you use to start Firefox. Can you check right-click > Properties > Compatbility tab and make sure nothing is selected there?
''I've never tried this myself, but the forum has a standard set of steps for a "clean reinstall" of Firefox to replace damaged program files. During this process, you are not removing personal settings, but you are removing some shared add-on folders, which would affect Windows Media Player and perhaps other plugins/extensions installed that way.''
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete (or if you're nervous, move or rename) the Firefox program folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox (32-bit)
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox (64-bit)
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Does that help?

I cannot save any file in any program

I cannot save any file in any program. A pop-up message error that says disk drive error appears. Help!!!

Do you have backups?

PPT has found an error and cannot save the file in Microsoft Powerpoint2010

I have been working in 2010 for 6 months and this is the 3rd time I have experienced this error. I am using my own 2010- created, macro-enabled template - I want to save the file but I get an error message stating PPT
has found an error and cannot save the file.
This has happened on both newly created files using this template, and files previously successfully saved. The template has been used without error many, many times.
I have on occassion been able to save as a 97-2003 file and then resave (with some loss of function) as a 2010 macro-enabled file, on another occassion I was not able to do this and lost some work.
Copying into a new document didn't solve the problem. Copying into a different template didn't solve the problem.
Any ideas what is happening, and how I can stop it happening?
Kind regards

Hi,
Have you tried saving the file in *.pptm format (basically this extension is for powerpoint presentation with macros)
Maybe try Save As and see if you can save it under a different name.
Once you get the file closed, then reopen PPT and go to Office Button | PPT Options | Resources. Run Office Diagnostics there.
In addition, make sure you have a local printer driver installed and set as the default printer. And it really might fix the issue.
Here's info on what to do:http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00952.htm

Acrobat XI cannot save the file, cannot read document

Recently acquired Acrobat XI with a new scanner. with several specific files that were sent to me, I get an error message that it cannot save the file because it cannot read it error (135). 3 out of 4 documents are originals. The 4th was apparently printed out and scanned. No problem with it. Any suggestions? I've pretty much tried everything and only solution seems to be creating jpgs files and then turning them back into a PDF file. Another party who received the files reports she has no problem with it. My guess is that she has an older version of Acrobat. I'm having the same problem with the Reader version.

Thanks for the response. I sent a response to the email notification but since I don't know if that puts my response on the forum, I'm putting it here as well. Yes, Under "help" I've run the updates multiple times and none are available. I did see a fix that sounded like it was for this type of situation but I could not find the switches in the program to carry out the recommendation. It sounded like the problem was that XI has trouble "reading" some documents and gets "hung" as a result. The solution was to turn off this feature. But I don't see how I can do that. I downloaded Soda PDF (alternative program) and it did not have any problem with it. Also, someone else opened it with no problem.

Cannot save attached files in Mail

My problem has to do with using the Mail program on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks. Lately when I receive an email with a file attachment (image, Word doc, PPT file, whatever) I cannot save the attached file.
I point to the attachment "download" dialog box, and choose either the "save all" option or the specific attachment filename shown, then navigate to the desired folder and hit "save". But no file is created.
The attachments are there - if I look at the same email using the gmail web-based mail utility I can easily download it. It's a problem with the Apple Mail client.
Any suggestions? Thank you.
Jerry

Zips and other archived/compressed files won't work as expected on an iPad since you can't just preview/view the contents directly from the attachment currently like you can with quicktime-compatible or other common media formats. Basically you would need to be able to save the zip file to the finder and extract it, and view the contents from there. But since the iPad doesn't have anything like a user-accessible Finder, it's tricky to implement.
There may be third-party apps that deal with this eventually (or maybe even something from the upcoming 4.0 software, who knows), but it would probably be easier to just have people send you attachments that aren't zipped up for now.

Cannot Save Word files as a PDF in Office 2013 with Office customization tool

Hello
I'm deploying office 2013 as a part of a post clone task. Using the customization tool I created an msp with the full installation (without outlook,Link, or skydrive) I noticed that I cannot save or export files as PDF files. If I do a manual
install (without MSP) I can save files as pdf. I can't find anywhere in the customization tool that allows me to choose different "save as" file types. In office 2010 I used to be able to save word files as PDF files. Any ideas would
be greatly appreciated.
Charles

Hi,
In regarding the issue, could you give me more information? Did you test to install the Office 2013 by using MSP and manual installation in the same computer? Did the other Office suits can not save files as pdf?
Let's do some test to narrow down the issue:
If you use the only one computer to test, please export a new MSP file include all the suits and use the all the default setting. Then we follow the
link to deploy again.
If the issue still exists, please try to change a computer, and update Adobe programs to install the new MSP file to test.
If you get some error message when you save as pdf through Word, please upload, I'll do more deeply research.
