Cannot save keynote 2 file (URGENT!! NEED TO SAVE NOW!!)

Hi!!
I have just got a Mac (new to me atleast!!). Great, i have made a document in Keynotes and can export as a picture but cannot acutally save it!!
The save process begins and then terminates half way though saying it cannot be saved.
The file is created in desired location but when you try to open is corrupt.
I need to save the file and get on with my day but i cannot. I cannot export as powerpoint either for some reason.
If anyone could advise soon that would reapply be appreciated. I have keynote 2.

Hello Guys,
Thank you for getting back to me, your consideration is much appreciated. I did put in an image, 2 infact so maybe that messed it up but that was only at the end. I copied and pasted two small logos from a webpage in Safari.
Im not using an external drive, just the main drive in the computer.
The problem i have now is that i needed to leave the computer, so i lost my document. Its there on the desktop as a .key do you know how do recover or open it??
I managed to save it as a PDF as well but i dont think i will ever get it back as a workable format in Keynotes 2??
Once again, thanks and if you have any ideas about the above i would be most greatful.
Thanks.

Cannot open keynote 08 files in keynote 09

I have some old presentations that open in my old mac that has keynote 08 (version 4.0.4). However, they don't open on my new mac that has keynote 09. When I try to open the 08 file in 09, I get the message that it is not a valid keynote document.
Isn't backwards compatibility the first thing someone would do?

Vivek,
If you haven't already done so, download Snow Leopard Combo Updater and install it. Then run Software Update and make sure your iWork apps are all the latest. This cures most problems similar to yours. If you still have a problem, create a new user account and try from the new account. If that iWork functions properly in the new account, the problem is with your main account's plist files and you'll have to go back to your main account and trash all the plist files associated with iWork. There are are discussions you can find with a search here that describe where all the iWork plist files reside, if you have to do that.
At this point you should be in good shape. If not, let us know.

I can not add attachments to my assignments, usually a picture of a computer will come up and I can browse to find the file I need to attach, now either a black square or Java comes up, but I can not get to my files. Help!

I need to know how to fix my add attachments, it has quit working.

Your user agent seems to have been corrupted somehow.
You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website. Filter: general.useragent
If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.

Additional files will need to be installed error -- cannot pdf a simple MS Word doc

Just installed Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. For some reason it will not let me pdf a word document. When I open acrobat and click on "Create" pdf from file---then select the document I want to pdf...it tells me I cannot and says" Additional files will need to be installed to create pdf from this file. You must have adminstrator priviledges to install these files. Please contact your local administrator."
I have tried this with many different files with the same message. Can anyone help me?

THe additional files statement is related to the PDF Maker files that some solutions are pointed to by others in this discussion. The fact that you can not make a PDF by printing to the Adobe PDF printer indicates more fundamental problems that need to be solved first. Try printing to the printer with Print-to-file selected. Then open this file in Distiller to see if a PDF is created.
If not, the Distiller window should show the errors of the process. When printing to the Adobe PDF printer, if it gets to Distiller the errors are stored in a log file, not displayed on screen necessarily.
If the PDF is created, then go back and try printing directly. If this latter step does not work (your message suggests it will fail), then check for AcroTray running in the background. This is a required application for any of the Acrobat PDF creation tools to work, except when using the print-to-file option I just mentioned.
After these steps work, then start looking at PDF Maker, since it is simply a preprocessor for the printer. When you open a DOC file in Acrobat, it is also just using PDF Maker by way of WORD. All of these processes are layered and not independent. I hope this helps you see the steps for diagnosis.

I just bought the Adobe conversion of a PDF to microsoft word. But I cannot save it to my computer file. What do I need to do. I do not want this form in the cloud

I just bought the Adobe PDF to word conversion. But I cannot save it to my computer file. What do I need to do? I do not want this form in the cloud

Hi mlleslie,
If I understand correctly, you've converted a file and now want to download it and remove it from your Acrobat.com account. Is that correct? What happens when you try to download it from https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you get an error?
Once you've downloaded it, you can delete it from your account by selecting it and clicking the trash can icon.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

My 5 year old MacBook Air is telling me it "cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit mail, delete files you don't need, then reopen mail." What is "home folder," and which files to delete?

The home folder is where all of your personal files are kept.
Best candidates to delete are movies, videos, music and photos since they generally take the most space.
Don't forget to empry the Trash after you delete the file because the space is not returned until the Trash is emptied.

Cannot save as PDF - "Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use..."

I have a number of PSD files I've created and I'm trying to save them as PDFs.
I can Save for Web and Devices, I can save as a .gif, .eps., and every other format I've tested, but I cannot save as a PDF. I get the error:
"Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use or was left open by another application."
I'm running Adobe Master Collection CS5 with Photoshop CS 5.5 (12.0.4 x64) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
I have a 928 GB HD with 697 GB free.
I have rebooted and tried saving the files immediately after I reboot. I have killed my virus scanner. I have killed a number of other possible culprits including Acrotray.exe and CS5ServiceManager.ext
I have run Process Explorer as recommended by Microsoft and found no applications using the file. I've also tried saving the file to my external hard drive and/or renaming the file with only rare luck.
Nothing seems to fix it.
The boards seem to suggest Adobe isn't taking responsibility for this and pointing it back to the OS or other software. I'm willing to believe them if someone can show me how/where to kill whatever process it is - but at this point, all my indicators point back to Photoshop.

Here is a clip from a past post where user could not drag and drop files to hard drive.
To my great relief I have now sorted this issue and offer the following as the Correct Answer. My sincere and grateful thanks go to Curt and Yammer, above, who have helped me so much in sorting this Windows 7 issue which is clearly very relevant to Bridge users also. Any slowness to grasp what they have been saying is down to me!
The key to solving this issue lies is understanding that in terms of Windows 7 Security, every internal or external hard drive, plus folders, sub-folders and files thereon has an OWNER. Also each OWNER has a certain level of PERMISSION to do things such as moving files to a different folder, deleting or re-naming them etc. If you try to do things that you don't currently have Permission to do, that is when you get an ‘Access Denied’ error message. Also your system has an Admistrator or Administrators and at the outset you need to ensure through the Control Panel that you are listed as one of them. .
If, like me, you didn't realise these things, (and why would you if Microsoft or your computer or hard drive suppliers couldn't be bothered to really make sure you knew about them), then trying to fathom the ‘Access Denied’ problem becomes a stressful and frustrating nightmare as I can testify having spent a week at it!
The steps that I took to resolve the issue and which I believe now constitute the 'Correct Answer' are as follows:
First make sure that you have Administrator rights on your system via the Control Panel
Next ‘right click’ on the Drive whose files you want to gain full access to, for example the drive that your pictures are stored on, and click on 'Properties'.
Under the Security tab you will see a list of Groups and Users on this drive and the Permissions that they have to do things.
Before doing anything to edit these Permissions, first click on the Advanced button. This opens another window with a tab showing the Owner of this drive.
Click on the Owner tab and if you are not already listed as the owner, make yourself the owner by selecting your name from the list. I believe it should appear there if you are an admistrator or user. (In my case at this stage the owner was initially shown as an obscure string of numbers and letters which I believe identified the drive when it was connected to the lap top I was using before I upgraded my machine)
Now be sure to check the box that says "Replace Owner on Subcontainers and Objects" and the click Apply. On completion of this step, the drive in question and all the folders, subfolders and files thereon should now be 'owned' by you. You could check this out by right clicking on a particular folder then clicking Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner. Your name should appear. So far so simples!
Now go back to the Security Tab for your drive (Step 2 / 3 above) and look at the Permissions you currently have. Your aim now is to allow yourself 'Full Control.' If you don’t currently have this level of permission click Edit, select your name on the list, check ‘Full Control’ and 'Apply' the change.
I think I'm right in saying that at this point whilst still working in the Drive directory you are now given the option of ticking boxes which allow you to, in effect, cascade the permission you have just granted yourself to all the files and folders on that drive. Tick the box to allow this and Windows should then take care of the rest.If I'm not quite correct here then in my particular case, for example, all my images were stored on my external drive. The top level, or 'parent' folder in which all my pictures could be found was the 'My Pictures' folder and I had created a number of folders and subfolders ('child ' folders) within that folder. The permissions I gave to the Parent folder – My Pictures – were cascaded down through the Child folders.
On completion of the above step I tested the result in Windows Explorer by dragging a few files back and forth between folders and it now worked perfectly - I was now able to move / delete / rename etc all files without now getting the dreaded access denied message. What a sense of relief! This meant that I could now open Bridge normally rather than having to right click it and 'Run As Admistrator' - albeit that is a very useful thing to do until you get the problem sorted as described.

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

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.

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.

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!)

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. However received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately. Ideas?

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. It opened normally. However, after editing, received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately and presumed they would work without a hitch. Am I missing something?

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to.

Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to. I did not have any problems before the upgrade. I would greatly appreciate any light shed on this.

Go to the HP site and look for drivers for your scanner. It apparently needs an updated driver to work with Mavericks.

Cannot save PSB - CMYK file as a PDF file in Photoshop Cc

Hi . I have a psb file CMYK open in photoshop cc , but cannot save it as a pdf. I've searched for a solution but cannot find it. The file is just over 5gb in size and I need to give it to the printers as a CMYK pdf file. Please advise.

I doubt that a computer date would suffice for legal proof of date. It is easily changed for those that know their way around the computer. I would have to play a bit, but could probably do it without too much trouble. About the only way to satisfy the need for a patent is to properly insert the pages in a patent notebook and get the information notorized. From what I have seen, the legal profession generally requires hard copy, not a computer file. A loose-leaf form is also typically not acceptable, but a bound notebook properly annotated. The notorized aspect is a way around some of this I think. In any case, it sounds like you need to consult a patent attorney.
