Cannot save changes to an Indesign document

I have documents from a client that were created in an earlier version of Indesign (I'm not sure if it was CS3 or CS4). I use Indesign CS5.5. I can open the documents OK and work in them without problem. (I have all the fonts being used, but some of the image links are missing) I'm adding pages and formatting text as I go. Then around 30 pages into the job, I find that I'm unable to undo or save any changes to the document. I've tried exporting to an IDML file and reopened it as an Indesing document and I still can't save changes.
Can anyone help me? Short of rebuilding the document from scratch, I don't know what to do.

I'm using InDesign CS5.5
I am having exactly the same problem, all previous discusions are the same for me...
I also use a font manager (suitcase fusion), no other plugins.
And this counts for all files i try to save in indesign right now..
and i noticed my links panel seems to be failing, it's open but it doesn't show any content or knobs or sliders.. "blank panel"
Any thoughts, I seriously need to get this out the way.. work needs to be done!

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)?

Cannot Save Changes in Library - Help!

I still cannot save changes I make to a library image back to
the library. I open library, drag the image to the stage, make a
change ... and then it just sits there. Nothing in the library
changes, nothing I do can make the original image in the library
take the changes. I've tried saving as, exporting, creating a new
image (it will not allow me to give it the same name as an existing
library image .. the one I want to change).
I suspect some bug in Flash since I re-installed it on a new
laptop. It worked before. I have tried re-installing it and have
the latest updates from Flash site.
Any ideas???

OK, never mind, I figured it out ... it was my unfamiliarity
with Flash, I rarely do anything there. I had selected the "open as
library" command which does not permit editing. Instead I needed to
open the fla file, then choose Library from the Window menu
Duh.

Error has occurred. Cannot save changes.

When I try to purchase an app, I get a screen asking me to fill out security questions. I fill all of them in and click on "done" and it says "an error has occurred. cannot save changes". I did a google search and apparently this has been going on for several years. But no where did I find a solution.

Were you able to find a solution? I have the same problem

Integration Builder cannot save changes

All,
We have a problem with Integration Builder both Design and
Configuration. If we restart the XI server then we can save changes from both the Designer and Configuration lists one ot two times. After that we get a Java: Null pointer error whenever trying to save changes. No errors reported by ABAP engine or database. Connection to SLD server seems OK.
In the default tracefile the exception message says that a zipfile cannot be written. Have checked the database and filesystems, everything looks OK.
Thanks for any help,
Alan Nichols

Hi,
If you running Xi on IBM machines please take a look at
Note 859465 - NullPointerException in DTR/XI it solved our problem.
Kind regards Johan Göthberg

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 changes when enabling Publishing Server

I have Contribute 4 with Contribute Publishing Server 1.11.
I'm able to setup normal Contribute sites fine and was able to
setup one Publishing Server site. Now though, whenever I try to
enable Publishing Server on a site, it enables alright but when I
close the Site Administration window I get an error that says
"Contribute cannot save your changes to the website's shared
settings on the server".
I've tried checking permissions; everything seems 'liberal'
enough like Contribute likes it. I've reinstalled Publishing Server
(including deleting any _mm folders). I've attempted deleting and
re-adding sites more times than I can count. Nothing has seemed to
make a difference. Has anyone experienced this problem or have any
ideas what might be going on? Thanks very much!
Nathan Williams

Hello Nathan, I'm using Contribute 3.11 (without Publishing
Server) and I'm experiencing the same issue: "while trying to setup
the admin password".
It seems to me that this is a bug from Macromedia... and
hopefully they will respond to us.

Infopath cannot save the following form - this document library was either renamed or deleted

Hi there,
I'm working in InfoPath 2013, using a remote desktop connection to a Windows 7 machine publishing to an on-prem SharePoint 2013 server.
When creating my form, I go to publish it to a form library and get the following error:
InfoPath cannot save the following form http://myformlocationandname This document library was either renamed or deleted, or network problems are preventing the file from being saved. If this problem persists, please contact your network administrator
I've tried updating a library, creating a new library, but neither work. I can however, edit a list and customise the form to then publish back without a problem.
If anyone could offer any advice, I'd be very grateful! :-)
Thanks very much,
Alex

Step1: First, the method of control :
Add
Windows Server Feature: User Interfaces and Infrastructure -> Desktop
Experience
Reboot
Start
Windows Services -> Themes service
Step2: I did not answer:
Go to SharePoint and create new Subsite

I can't save changes to my PDF document?

I downloaded a PDF document from Google Chrome onto my desktop. (It's a job application). However, every time I make changes to it, click save, and then open it up again using Preview, none of my changes have saved. Help?

No -- I installed adobe acrobat -- and now, whether I'm signed in or not -- the little disc/save icon is whited out and it can no longer be selected -- when I open a PDF I can only save it to the cloud
I am a physician, and a lot of what I look at is protected health information --- I can't be saving it in the cloud!!! I have to find a way to disable this feature -- and restore my ability to save to my hard drive ONLY --
Thanks -- but if you can tell me those things, I'll be grateful
tried to attach screen shot to show you, but it was too big .......

Is there an inexpensive Adobe product that can make small text changes in an InDesign document?

I run a small nonprofit where one of our staffers uses InDesign to design our documents. I often make small text changes and would rather not have to run them through her all the time. Is there any inexpensive Adobe product that would met me make these small changes, since I don't need the full Creative Suite (or even full InDesign) capabilities?

You say that you want an Adobe product, but you may not be aware that
there are other products that may work for you as well, in particular
DocsFlow or WordFlow (EmSoftware -- no affiliation to me!)
This would allow your designer to export the story to Word or GoogleDocs
where you make your changes -- and he or she then simply updates the
document in InDesign with the press of a button.
Worth looking into.

Exported PDF does not reflect the most recent changes to my inDesign document

When I export a new PDF from inDesign after I have made multiple changes to the document the PDF looks like a previous version of my inDesign doc before the edits

Delete the old PDF normally, empty the trash and export again. It happened to me last week several times that InDesign could not overwrite an existing PDF but did not claim an error. After deleting the old file, the problem was solved.

Cannot save changes to files on raid

Background - G5 xServe, xRAID - 6 Folders shared out to mixed environment, OS X, XP Pro and Vista. I am in the Administrators group and have full access to all folders on RAID. Admin group has four members 3 on Vista 1 XP. I can open and change/delete/create new from my Mac Pro without a hitch.
We can all read files, but we cannot open a file on the raid and make a change and save from Vista - X and XP are fine. Have tried everything under the sun for Vista file sharing issues and I hate to say it, it doesn't appear to be Vista.
If I open a Excel file change one cell and then try to save i get the following message " Access Denied. Contact your Administrator" or "Destination Folder Access Denied". On all of the shared folders with the exception of one. That folder I can change whatever I want and save.
The ACL and POSIX look to be good and match for the administrators group.
I have no problem dropping the file on my desktop and then opening and making changes and copying back to the shared folder, but our CIO would prefer to make the simple changes and then save it without the extra steps.
Before anyone bashes Vista, the error message indicates that it coming from the shared folder and is getting it's information/permission from there.

I found the answer in another post - here is what I did. Stop SMB service, opened up my favorite text editor and navigated to the /etc/smb.conf file and added the line *acl check permissions = no*. Restarted SMB service, logged in from my Vista box and saved changes without a hitch.

Attempting to clone MAC address, cannot save changes.

Hello.
I am attempting to use the MAC address cloning feature on my Linksys e2000 router. When I check "Enabled" and then attempt to save settings I receive "The values you entered are invalid. Please try again." I also receive this message if I select "Enabled" and then "Clone My PC's MAC". All other change to settings seem to work.
Any help?

You might have to reset to factory defaults since there isn't any reason why this is occurring AFAIK. Maybe trying to clone the router's MAC onto itself broke something in the firmware.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

PLD cannot save changes

Dear All,
Our customer is on SAP2007 PL49, SQL Server 2000. When I modify the PLD for them, I can save the changes. But when they log off SAP then log back in, all changes I made before is gone. Any idea? Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Yuka

When the system is not under supported platform, anything can happen with no cure. Try to convince them to change. Otherwise, even SAP support would not take the case. It is not a good excuse that someone else run it without problem. That is purely lucky. Shouldn't be an example to follow.
