Cannot save Apple ID change...

There are a lot of questions about this issue. I will try to be as detailed as possible. Any solutions would be most appreciated.
I have an ipod touch 4th G and an iphone 5 with ios7. I have one Apple ID. My son has since aquired my ipod touch and signed in with his own completly different Apple ID so the only item associated with MY Apple ID is my iphone 5.
Briefly i have everything set up how i want and i don't want to loose the information; photos on cloud, itunes purchases, calendar items on icloud etc. However my Apple ID was chosen and set up by someone else and signing into that same Apple ID reminds me of them so i want to change my Apple ID (the password has been changed since it was set it up). I do not want to create a new account, do not want to just change contact emails, i want to change my Apple ID. Yes i know i could delete it off my iphone and create a new one but this would give me a nose bleed to have the hassle to reset everything so i'm asking if i can just change the Apple ID. This way a) i dont have to sign in and be reminded of someone and b) if my Apple ID is changed they can never message me on my iphone (yes i already blocked them but as they know what my Apple ID is they can message me using any other Apple ID)
This is what i have done so far...
AppleID.Apple.com-Manage your apple ID-edit Apple ID
When i change this to another email address all the circles go green but it WONT SAVE. I have been able to update any other info but this does not save, if i try to click on any other options it say do i want to save this change and again it still wont save.
The email i am trying to use is NOT connect to any other Apple ID and is not on my account and is not my reset email.
I followed a previous persons idea of:
• Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
• Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
• Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
• Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
• The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
• Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
So now my primary email has changed to the email i want. It even now says i should make my primary email and Apple ID the same, i select that email and it WONT SAVE.
I know that i can just get a new Apple ID but i am looking for a solution to this issue. Apple says you can change your Apple ID at any time but i cannot. Please note i was signed out of every connection to the Apple ID whilst doing these as advised by Apple, including deleting the Apple ID off my iphone5.
Thank you in advance...

You can't change the primary email address, the one you created when you opened an iCloud account (or if you migrated from MobileMe the address you log in with) other than by opening a completely new account.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
However you can create three 'email aliases' - these are extra addresses, not accounts, which deliver into the same inbox as the main address.
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
It's actually quite a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the main one, since these can be easily changed should you get spammed.
Also, change the password, that will shut out the other user of the account.

7.0 - Cannot save journal after changing content

Hi all,
When I have copied journals to another category or time, and want to change some of its content, I cannot save the journal, as the button 'Save' is not activated. When I post the journal, it does change back to the original entries.
We currently use release 7.0.119.
Thank you for any information or suggestions.
Melanie

Hi Roberto,
do you mean by launching a package copy, if I have tried to copy the data with the data manager package on journal level?
No, I have just copied some journals from one month to the other, say, ACTUAL 2011.NOV to ACTUAL 2011.DEC, and then wanted to change some numbers, and save the journal again. But the icon for saving was not activated.
For now the issue is "solved", as at some stage I have logged off BPC and started it again. But it has happened before, and it is a strange behaviour.
Perhaps it is a service pack issue?
Best regards,
Melanie

Cannot SAVE Apple Mail Messages

Until recently I was able to SAVE Apple Mail messages as rtf files. I can no longer do this. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have a solution?
Thanks.
Mary

Hi Mary,
That just started happening to me as well. I came to the forums to see if there was an answer. For the time being a temporary solution is to drag the mail from a mailbox to the desktop where it copies it to an .eml file which includes all attachments etc.
I'm on a Mac Pro 10.5.6 and use Mobile Me to sync an iPod Touch, MacBook Pro and my Mac Pro. I'm mentioning that because I wonder if this might be some snafu with Mobile Me?

SQL-Editor / Cannot Save PL/SQL Changes to Server

Hello,
I just gave the Oracle DTP Plugin an short try. Cool feature! It would help a lot to have good SQL / PL/SQL development functionality within Eclipse.
During my first test I could not save changes of PL/SQL Code in the SQL-Editor to the server.
Click on the "Floppy-Disk"-Icon gives me an Error-Popup "Save Failed:null"
Right-Click "Save to Server" is doing nothing.
My Tool-Stack is:
Eclipse SDK Version: 3.2.2 / Build id: M20070212-1330
DTP 1.5.0.200707041
Oracle DTP Plugin 1.0.0.464
Bye and thanks for starting the Oracle DTP Plugin Project!
Frank

HI,
I haved the same problem with version 1.0.0.464 (jul2007) !

Thanks

TS1702 cannot update apple id changed

i cannot update apps on appstore because theres a different appleid. I go to settings and my appleid is ok but when i try to update an app the appleid is different. it is my wife's sister apple id whose iphone i updated on the same pc as mine. it was a couple of months ago. there wasnt a problem before.
now i cannot update or download or buy an app.

Either you already have an Apple ID with that email address or your email address is associated with another Apple ID. You may need to call Apple to find out.

Server Admin crashes and cannot save mail server changes

Problems:
1. In one account, Server Admin crashes on startup.
2. As a workaround, I created another account where SA does start. However, in this account it disconnects from the server any time I want to save changes to the mail settings. Nothing gets saved.
Questions:
a. Can this have happened because I earlier deleted mail accounts in SA without going through curadm?
b. If so, will deleting the accounts in curadm solve the problem?
c. If not, what could have caused this sorry state of affairs?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't mention before that after deleting the .plist file, the mail server would no longer accept incoming connections. Restoring the old .plist file and restarting the mail server didn' t help, so I went back to my backup. Then I had to restart the amavisd demon manually to get the mail queue started.
I hope that the rewritten ServerAdmin in 10.5 will be a bit more robust...

Using Adobe Photoshop CS2 version 9 and have updated it, but when stacking photos, it comes up with PSD, whereas I want Jpeg, and I change the format to Jpeg and the box then comes up with cannot save as there is a program error. Be very grateful for help

Using Adobe Photoshop CS2 version 9 and have updated it, but when stacking photos, it comes up with PSD, whereas I want Jpeg, and I change the format to Jpeg and the box then comes up with cannot save as there is a program error. Be very grateful for help with this, please.

jpg does not support Layers.
Just to make sure, what exactly do you mean by "stacking photos" and what do you want to achieve thereby?

Error message: iMovie cannot save changes to the library!?!

iMovie crashed my computer and now I can't creat a new movie.
Here's the full error message:
iMovie cannot save changes to the library.
The hard disk where your library is located may be full or unavailable or permissions may have changed. To avoid losing your work, quit iMovie.
What's up with this? I tried trashing the preferences, but got the same message. I have a 27-inch late 2013 iMac running Mavericks with 445.55 GB free space.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

You've already tried trashing iMovie preferences (By the way think in Mavericks you have to reboot as well after this for the new preferences to take effect) . One other thing to try is creating a new user account, logging in and seeing if you can create a new project in iMovie (of course you won't see your exisitng projects). If you can then iMovie itself is OK. If not then the only other thing I can think of is re-installing iMovie (see http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/How-To-Re-Download-Apps-From-The-Mac-Ap p-Store.htm)
Is everthing else working OK after your computer crash? Maybe you should also run Verify disk in Disk Utility.
Maybe someone-else has some other suggestions (I have not heard of this problem before)?

My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
We need to know exactly what you did
And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
For reference after you get things working
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

HT204053 Our Apple ID is ok and functioning. However, I just came on as the IT for the group and cannot find how to change the name.

Our Apple ID is ok and functioning. However, I just came on as the IT for the group and cannot find how to change the name.

Assuming you mean the personal name associated with the account, as opposed to the login (which you can change if it's not an @icloud.com. @me.com or @mac.com address) you can change this at http://appleid.appla.com . Click on 'Manage your account' and then on 'Edit' next to 'Your name' and the name currently associated with the ID.

LR 1.3 cannot save changes to export preset - only create new presets

So, in LR 1.2, I could change some parameters in a preset (export presets) and then save the changed preset. But the upgraded LR 1.3 export form does not seem to have a "save" option. I can create a new preset, I can remove a preset, but I cannot save a change to an already existing preset. I can get around it by ...
. add, creating a new (ie. temporary) name saving my changes
. open the original preset
. remove (the old preset)
. open the new preset (with the temp name)
. add using the old preset name that I like to use
. open the temporary (ie. new) preset
. remove (to delete the temporary preset)
- yuck! What an ugly work around :(
Can we please have our save option back again?

It's still there. Right-click the preset you want to update and select that option.

Cannot save contact changes in outlook, always reverts back to what it was before.

Cannot save contact changes in outlook, always reverts back to what it was
before.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to save the all contacts in Outlook, please follow these steps: -
By default, when you double-click on a contact in Outlook, the new
Contact Card displays for that contact. The Contact Card does not contain all the fields from the full contact editing window that opens when you create a new contact.
The
Contact Card also displays by default when you search for a contact. You can still open the full contact editing window when editing a contact or when searching for a contact. To switch to your
Contact folder, click the People link at the bottom of the
Outlook window or press Ctrl+3.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

I cannot save any document without changing the name

No matter how slight a change I make, I cannot save a pdf file without giving it a new name

I have the same problem.
I am running Win7
I have Acrobat X 10.1.3
I am forced to rename files when I attempt to save to a folder. It seems to work fine when on the desktop.
Why does it work from the desktop and not from the file folders?

I cannot save any changes without renaming

Acrobat X Pro - Windows 7 - no matter how slight as change (e.g., rotate a page, insert or delete a page) I cannot save the document without being forced to rename it thereby necessitating deleting the old one and always having to creat new names - terribly irritating and this did not used to happen.

From what I have seen it may be necessary to re-install Adobe to see if that fixes the problem. However, I would first check the processes in "msconfig" in Windows to ensure you do not have an issue with multiple instances of Adobe running at the same time. There may also be another Adobe program running in the background that could be causing this issue. I have researched online and could not find a specific fix to this issue except from what I found about re-installing Adobe and seeing if that fixes the problem. I would also first try to close all programs and processes that are not needed and see if that works, if it does then one of the programs is interfering with Adobe to handle the processes you are trying to complete. As everything else seems to be working OK I tend to lean towards an update or another program that has been installed conflicting with Adobe. I will continue to look into this issue as I have not seen it before or maybe someone else will also have some insight on how this can be corrected.
