Cannot save in Motion 4 on new iMac

I cannot save anything in Motion 4 on my new iMac. No save, no save as, nothing. I get a window that merely states that "+the document 'whatever' cannot be saved as 'whatever'.+" Is anyone else having this serious problem? The software is all completely updated.

I know this happened in Motion 3 when the tutorial media was copied from the CD. Even though on a hard drive, it retained write protected status. The answer was to Save As to a different folder.

Only purchases transfer over.
That is how it is designed to be.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.

Cannot open LR4 Catalogue in a new iMAC

I have just bought a new iMAC. That was yesterday.
I already had LR4 purchased and used it regularly on my older iMAC. The LR4 Catalogue and Images were all installed in an external USB disk
So today, after installing LR4 and a trial version of PS6 (I own PS5) on my new iMAC, I connected the external USB disk, which had my LR4 Catalogue and images, and tried to OPEN the LR4 Catalogue in question. To my surprise, I got a dialogue box which read:
"Lightroom cannot launch with this catalog. It is either on a network volume or on a volume on which Lightroom cannot save changes.
The catalog's location is /Volumes/Toshiba_1TB/LACIE_2/LACIE_2/LACIE_2-2-2.lrcat."
I got so frustrated, that I IMPORTED the catalogue instead. After some while (25000 images), LR4 imported the images, with keywords, etc. Of course LR did so in a location on the iMAC HD, which is something I do not particularly like.
Anyway, I went to the smart collections, just to check that everything worked out all right, and opened one of them.
But when I tried to edit one of the images, I got this dialogue box:
"Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at /Volumes/Toshiba_1TB/LACIE_2/Art Projects/CHICA de Anne Marie/Chika de Anne Marie_ii.jpg for editing.
It will not be opened."
Could sombody tell me, please, if there's a way to open my original catalogue in the UDB external drive'
If that was not possible, why to I get the second dialogue box when I try to edit the image in the smart collection, telling me that the image would not open?
Thank you for your help.

I'm not a Mac person, but it seems highly likely that you are having permissions problems. Your current user on the new Mac doesn't have permission to write to the external drive from the previous machine.
Fixing up your permissions ought to make things work for you.

Cannot send nor receive email on new iMac; migrated settings from MacBook

I just recently bought a new aluminum iMac. I migrated files & settings, including Mail settings from my MacBook to the iMac. Despite the copied settings, I cannot send nor receive messages on the new iMac. I have always been able to send & receive e-mail on my MacBook, so I would think the same settings should work on the iMac.
I have tried Connection Doctor, and I am getting successful connections on both the POP Account and SMTP server.
I have compared settings between the MacBook & iMac, and they are the same. My MacBook uses Tiger and doesn't have the option of default & custom ports. It is set to port 25. I have tried custom ports of 25 & 587 on the new iMac as well as the default port option. None of those seem to work.
Is there something else that could be wrong or anything else I can try? Thanks ahead of time for any assistance.

Cannot install Photoshop CS4 onto a new iMac

I have just bought a new iMac and want to put my Photoshop CS4 on it. It has previously been on my 5 year old MacBook Pro. I have downloaded the .dmg file from the adobe website but as soon as I open it up and click on the setup icon a pop up opens saying "Cannot Install Please click the Quit button". This all happens before I am given the option to put in a product key. I have just done the same process with Lightroom 2 and it worked fine. Any ideas?

Yes, it seems you are downloading the wrong thing.

Motion 3 with new iMac 2.8 - ATI card or Nvidia GeForce card?

I'm considering a new iMac 24" 2.8 penyrn and am wondering if Motion 3 performance would benefit significantly by upgrading the stock card? My options are:
1. ATI Radeon HD2600 Pro w/256MB (stock)
2. Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS w/512MB (upgrade)
The upgrade card is +$135. I've seen on other posts that the ATI is better for 2D applications and the Nvidia for 3D. I've been running Motion 2 so I've never utilized its 3D capabilities.
Any input appreciated.

Thanks! I've been trying to ascertain whether Motion 3 will run at all on the new 2.8 iMacs. I was at the Apple Store over the weekend and they had it installed on Mac Pros and MacBook Pros... Not on the iMacs, though. I'm upgrading from Motion 2 on a Powerbook G4. Was NOT impressed with how Motion 3 ran on the MacBook Pro (2.5) they had in the store.
I'm not a full-time video editor so I need a simple system. Helps to get the input on the GPU cards.

Cannot back up iPhone 4 to new iMac

I am about at my wits end. I just purchase a brand-spanking new iMac. Which works great. However, the iTunes will not back up my iPhone 4. Period. It asks me if I want to install the latest software (I currently have the 5.0 software; this is the update AFTER that one), and of course I say sure, but it starts to back up my iPhone to the COMPUTER, even though I have marked to have it back up to iCloud. I prefer it be on iCloud, as I had issues with it telling me prior to 5.0 that it was backed up on the computer, when it really was not (unable to locate it...reset iPhone, and lost everything-hence switched to iCloud until I can figure out why the computer is not wanting to back it up. I get the error message: "unable to back up iphone 4 (well the name of my phone) because it could not be saved on this computer". I have seen this addressed in other forums, but none of those suggestions worked.
I went to the Genius Bar today, and the guy told me to delete iTunes, and reinstall from the website. Can't. I have Lion OS X on this iMac, and it gives me the message that "unable to delete iTunes because Lion is using it. ? WHAT? The "genius" guy hadn't even heard of this issue before, and did not know how to get the computer to back up the iphone to iCloud when trying to install the latest update to the iPhone.
Also of note-I have no garbage can next to any of my photos on my iphone, imported, taken with the phone, ,or otherwise. I am unable to delete any of them. Someone had mentioned manually deleting all of them to clear the error code so I will sync to the computer.
? Any thoughts?
I have an iPhone 4, have had it for a year and a half. Was syncing fine with my Macbook (which has since died).
I have Lion OSX, brand new
I have no firewalls or security ware active on the computer
Thoughts? I am this close (holding thumb and index finger closely together.....) to switching to a DROID! Ridiculous how this easy process is turning into an abslute frustrating nightmare for me. Genius Bar is worthless here.
Thanks in advance---

Nope. No can do. It did not ever back up to my new computer. We looked all over this thing for backups. There were none. Any other suggestions?

I cannot play you tube on my new iMac(it was working fine yesterday) it is asking for adobe flash player how do I do this?

I have tried to play you tube tonight on my new imac (it played fine last night)
and adobe is asking for a flashplayer upgrade, do I go ahead with this and if yes how do I go about it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Apple blocked Flash yesterday because of a serious security problem that is being used to hack PCs and Macs with Flash.
Adobe has released a Flash update that makes Flash work again on Macs. You can download it on Adobe website > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer I recommend you to restart the Mac after installing this update

Cannot email photos from iPhoto on new iMac mountain lion

I have a pop account for my mail. When I got the new computer with iCloud, I had to have my pop mail forwarded to my iCloud account. That all works fine. But I cannot select a few photos in iphoto and click on 'send' for either the pop or the icloud accounts. I get a message that I am not connected to the internet (which I am) and to try again later. I have spoken with tech support at Roadrunner, my pop account, and we have checked that all settings are correct. He thinks the problem must be with iCloud. Any ideas?

If you are using iPhoto try going into the preferences and the click accounts to make sure you email account is setup correctly.

Cannot save "Untitled-4" under a new name.

I'm getting this error trying to run the HelloWorld.jsx Script on a Windows Server 2003 VM machine inside OSX.
I've been working with the server with no problems, having been able to test scripts to import XML, and export in various formats..
I had just written a Windows App test client in C# .Net, the aim being to develop an Object Pool to control multiple instances, and was going to use HelloWorld as the test script... and now this.
The same script runs perfectly well from the ActionScript IDE, both in the Windows Server and on OSX.
InDesign Server is running as a Windows Service.
I can view the WSDL on http://localhost:1978/?wsdl ... fine.
Any ideas?

You may as well see the script
//HelloWorld.jsx
//Create a new document.
var myDocument = app.documents.add();
//Get a reference to the first page.
var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0);
//Create a text frame.

//Specify the size and shape of the text frame.
myTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["6p0", "6p0", "18p0", "18p0"];
//Enter text in the text frame.
myTextFrame.contents = "Hello World!";
//Save the document (fill in a valid file path).
//If the active document has not been saved (ever), save it.
//If you do not provide a file name, InDesign displays the Save dialog box.
app.documents.item(0).save(new File("/c/myTestDocument.indd"));

External hardrive error, cannot save files onto ex hd, NEW MAC USER!!! D:

hello, i just recently purchased my macbook pro last night, and i had no problem adding all my songs into itunes from my western digital harddrive. But one problem i have been starting to notice is that i can't save any files on it. And whenever i plug it in, it tells me that there has been an error trying to open it up. I have googled for a few hours and the only solutions i have seen are that the cord may be too long and i need a new cord or i have to reformat it, which i don't want to do or else my thousands of songs and pictures are gone. What is the best solution to get access to save to my hard drive without causing any damage to my files. Thank You!

on the step where you have to use terminal, after UUID, it only says:
Display detailed information about a disk or partition.
Root access is not required.
have i done something wrong?
edit*-after googling, i see that i should have had a number sequence pop up, ill try again now

Cannot Install HP C4680 Printer to New iMac with OSX v10.6.2

I've followed the HP install directions to a tee (for Macs, connect USB before inserting install CD). I've also tried workarounds online ((a) connect USB after install but before set up and (b) turn off computer and printer and reboot and (c) attempt to install from System Preferences). I've also uninstalled and then downloaded installer and new drivers from the HP website and attempted to do (a), (b) and (c) with the downloaded installer and new drivers.
Nothing works. The install goes fine, but when I reach set up, my printer is not listed. When I check the box that says "my printer is not listed" (or something very similar to that), I get a message saying that if my printer is not listed, then I have the wrong installer and need to get the correct installer. However, no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall the "correct" download from the HP website, I am stuck in "Groundhog Day."
I've been trying to install this printer for three days now. Any solutions would be very appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you run Software Update? If not, you should and install the updates suggested. Note whether there is an HP printer driver update amongst the suggested updates. If there is, go ahead and let SU do the update for you. You should have your printer connected and switched on throughout this process.
After this go to System preferences/Print & Fax and see whether your printer is listed. If it is there might be 2 mentions - one for FAX the other for print.
Let's know what all this shows.

Cannot save a bookmark to NEW folder - FF wants me to rename EXISTING parent folder

I cannot save a bookmark to a new folder. This is the path I am taking from the main menu:
Bookmarks | Bookmark This Page
Click the drop-down arrow to the right of Folder
Select Choose
Scroll to the parent folder in which I would like a new subfolder
Click New Folder
Then, instead of creating a new folder as it always did in the past, it highlights the parent folder for editing. If I type in a new folder name, the parent folder is changed to that new name. A new subfolder is created with the name New Folder.
Things I have already tried that did *not* resolve the problem:
- Deleting and then restoring bookmarks from a saved bookmark backup file.
- Running the Add-On "Places Maintenance"
- Rebuild "Places" database
I have not yet reset Firefox or created a new profile but can try that if you gurus think that would help.
I am using FF 32.0.2 on Win XP SP3.
I have hundreds and hundreds of bookmarks, but from what I have read, there is no max size limit.
Thank you in advance!
Carol

Cor-el, thank you very for your reply.
I started Firefox in Safe Mode. The problem still occurs in Safe Mode. My understand is if the problem persists in Safe Mode, it is *not* being caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Other possible causes could be plugins or changes made to Firefox preference settings, which are not disabled in Safe Mode.
As you suggested, I did check Add-ons > Appearance. (I don't think I have ever had any Appearance other than the default theme.) It was and still is set at Default 32.0.2 By Mozilla. Since the bookmarks problem persists in Safe Mode, I think we can rule out this as the cause anyway.
All of my Plug-Ins are up-to-date except iTunes Application Detector 1.0.1.1. Status is "unknown". I have all Plug-Ins set to "Ask to Activate" or "Never Activate". None of them are set to "Always Activate".
My cache, cookies and history have been cleared. I have rebooted my computer.
Per your instructions, I did *not* reset Firefox. Should I reset Firefox or reinstall Firefox?
The bookmarks problem still occurs.
Thank you so much!
Carol
