Cannot Undo after Save -- Bug?

I've noticed that in Garageband once I save my project, I can't undo anything that happened before the save. I don't like that, and after the flexibility of apps such as Pages it seems unnatural, but I figured that was just the way things were.
However, I was talking with some programmer friends of mine and they were shocked when I mentioned data I'd lost that way, and they advised me to 'file it as a bug'.
Is it a bug, a setting I can change, or was it made that way for a particular reason?
Thanks!

GB does its housekeeping upon save, for instance a completely deleted region is deleted from the project file. this is just how it was designed.

InDesign crash.. I cannot undo or save. Please help me!

I was working on InDesignCS6, a document with just two pages.. and suddenly I cannot undo anymore, I tried to save the file but the option was grayed out. This problem occurs since I have a new iMac with MacOS 10.9.2. The only thing I can do when the program crashes this way is to export an IDML file but eventually InDesign crashes again and again. I've tried to reset the preferences but it didn't work. Can somebody please help me? this is driving me insane.

Export to .idml is the current workaround.

FCPX undo / auto save bugs + RAM Hog - Possible Fix?

Hi there FCPX users,
I have a 8-core 2010 Mac Pro with 16GB Ram and the stock GPU running Lion 10.7.2
I have been using FCPX since day dot, and have been overall very pleased with its super fast work flow and realtime capabilities.
I have completed over 100 3-4min edits with average project size of 50GB, and a bunch of wedding edits with approx 150-200GB project sizes. The issues I had with 10.0.0 - 10.0.1 were mainly FCPX quitting unexpectedly.
And now on 10.0.2 I have expereinced the well known auto save / greyed out undo bug. I have gone through all the steps via apple care which included:
Trashing the Prefs, repair permissions, check drive space / correct format, new user account and clean install of lion / Final Cut X.
I am still experiencing this issue. So yesterday I purchased another 16GB Ram totaling now to 32GB Ram, and I monitor the RAM usage via "Free Memory".
I Noticed that if my RAM is running low, I "free Memory" without quitting FCPX and continue to work as normal, and so far I have not yet experienced the issue again.
Dont know if this is a temporary fix, but it has worked for an hour long edit (approx 6-7 hrs without restaeting FCPX).
Also, I have noticed FCPX will eat up 16-20GB RAM quite easliy.
Not sure if this problem is related to RAM...
My 2 cents.

You have to really be conscious when you start a new project and how and where you manage your footage.
No one has complained more than I have about FCPX's quirky behaviors and it can be frustrating. I have worked with FCPX since day one, even tried to get a refund but couldn't. After using it for a while now, it is very easy to get used to how fast some elements are in editing and reviewing a lot a footage. But several things you have to make sure of that will keep the rendering speed up and less crashing happening.
First make sure that you can see how much space you have on your drives by right clicking in the main window of you screen and make the necessary clicks form the drop down menu. Make sure any drives you have been doing projects with lately are hooked up and do a secure empty trash. Its cool to see how much space you regain. 2) make sure that FCPX, Motion and Compressor (if you have those are installed on your boot drive).
3) Create a FCPX Projects folder on an external (FW800) with at least 75% of its drive space available if you do not have secondary drive installed in your computer. (Its very important to note that any drive you use for any aspect of editing should never be more 75% full, especially your boot drive.) This is where FCPX will log all of its operating files for all of your projects.
4) Either copy all of the other FCPX files from your main hard drive and paste then into the new folder you created. Then delete all of those files, as well as any Motion files too! (Do the same as you did for FCPX in the previous step)
5) If you need to move all of your music files to another drive as well. If its iTunes, you will have to tell iTunes where to look for the new files and it will populate accordingly. This will free up a tremendous amount of space. Make sure to delete them form the main drive.
6) Remove any junk programs form the boot drive (main) or move them to another drive if possible.
7) Now do another secure empty trash and watch your drive space return.
8) Now open up FCPX and make sure you only create projects on your new drive by clicking on that drive in the project window. Any older projects you can simply pull them to the other drive and you will be prompted on how to duplicate that project and all its files to that drive. Delete the other ones.
9) Only capture footage to you external drives. Save it there until you need it.
10) Create all new projects on the secondary drive and pull any footage you are working with on that drive as well. By keeping it all off the Boot drive FCPX will run much smoother and faster, especially if you have at least 16g of Ram, which I recommend.
So to re-cap:
1. Keep your boot drive lean. Delete anything you can move to another drive. Do not set up events and or projects to it...never!!!
2 Use you secondary drive for your project files and the video you are working with in your events.
3. Store raw footage on a FW800 drive ready to move to your secondary drive.
4. Use secure empty trash after all editing sessions when you are certain of your trash contents.
Doing these things have greatly increased much more consistently faster render times and much fewer crashes.

Good Luck

FURIOUS! Warning: Undo Bug and Auto-Save Bug

So I'm pretty ticked off right now. I generally liked FCPX and its changes contrary to many others' opinions, but I just came across a bug that ultimately was worse than I thought.
During my editing process, at some point I was unable to undo changes. It was greyed out in the toolbar, and Command+Z wasn't working. It was annoying, but I didn't think much of it or bother to restart FCPX because I was in the zone and didn't want to stop. Eventually, I decided to restart FCPX to see if I could fix the bug with a lull in my edits. It closed out as normal.
When I re-opened FCPX, I found out that my project was at an EARLIER state. From what I can guess, when the undo bug happened. So, during that period of time, NOTHING was being saved. Since you CANNOT auto-save (I know you can duplicate a project, but Im not interested in that, I just want to save a copy manually), there is no way I can recover my edits. I lost about an hour or so worth of edits. Since FCPX doesn't support "versions" yet either, there is no way I can retrieve it.
I do not know if this is a bug due to 10.7, nor do I really care. I sent a bug report because this needs to get fixed. I consider you do the same but AT THE VERY LEAST, be mindful of this bug. If you suddenly can't start undoing, either STOP IMMEDIATELY or duplicate your project (maybe that would work). I'd hate to have someone else go through this problem too.
Sorry if this message is written poorly, like I said, I'm pretty ****** that this key function (Apple's ONLY way to save) failed.

Thanks guys for the tips. Unfortunately though stuck, I don't know if the finder trick will work. Remember, I never really had the file LOST, the changes were simply not writing to the actual .fcp file. So if I copied it in Finder, I think it would just copy the .fcp file which is currently not getting saved to anyway. Maybe duplicating the project in FCPX would work, but again I think that just takes the .fcp file and duplicates it. If it's not writing to it, then its a moot point. Oh well.
As with anything that frustrates anyone, I've cooled off haha, and doing the re-edits actually seemed to turn out easier and better then second time (you know, as theu naturally are I suppose haha). Obviously all sorts of problems happen with technology, its just a shame that its a bug that revolves around the ONLY save feature haha.
HOWEVER. I think I have replicated the problem, and MIGHT know the source of it. Or at least one. If someone wants to try this and confirm this? I'm running OSX 10.7 and FCPX 10.0 (obviously), however I encourage someone with 10.6 to try it too.
I noticed the "undo bug" (and thus the auto-save bug) happens when I took one of the "fader handles" (I don't know the actual name, but its the little marker-like icon found at the start and end of audio tracks, which when dragged, let you easily make a fade in or out. If you take a fader-handle, an drag it ALL the way BEYOND the length of the clip, it should get stuck. Youll notice you cant easily make a change to it again, and you can't undo it. I think this is what causes the problem, as I think this happened twice to me.
If this is it, I hope I can find a way to flag this for Apple so it can get fixed! At the very least we can be concious of it.

BUG in PE 13- cannot open and save projects from PE11!!!!!!!

For 1 month I'm requesting a TECH Support to resolve a BUG in Adobe Premiere Elements 13 that cannot load and save projects from PE11. I already provided all details several times (about my PC system & exact steps to reproduce a problem, etc) & posted in this PE forum as well.
Adobe is the WORST company I have ever came across that shows NO SUPPORT for its clients. Not only they don't have a phone line, but lacking in providing its clients with other channels to contact Tech Support (if such exists??) via emails or a chat. It is unheard of that a company would SELL its products, collected money & then had NO responsibility to correct problems they introduced. SHAME on you! I will post this opinion in Facebook and everywhere. I will warn people they should beware on spending money on Adobe horrible products where a company refuses even support these products and where a company only relies on common users who also already spent money and now experiencing all sort of problems. Unbelievable!
Adobe team, if you are not helping with resolving your last bugs, you should at least send me a link for the old PE11 that I could finish my projects. I hope that someone will finally contact me

After reinstalling Photoshop PS6 I cannot any longer save smart collections in Bridge

Hi, after reinstalling Photoshop PS6 I cannot any longer save smart collections in Bridge. I create a smart collection by entering criteria, but when I click on SAVE, it is not saved. In my old installation (before I had to install a new hard disk), that never was a problem.
I am using Windows 7. Before, I used a hrad disk for the system, now I have a SSD, plus seveal hard disks for data storage.
Can anybody help me with advice what the problem is?
That whould be great. Thanx,

After upgrading to iOS7, all 'albums' in 'music' are shuffled and I cannot undo. Anyone have this also?

After upgrading to iOS7, all 'albums' in 'music' are shuffled and I cannot undo. Anyone else have this also?

After doing some more searching, I've discovered the problem, and it is all mine, I'm embarrassed to say.
When I adjusted the apps to a larger size, iOS7 only allows 9 apps per page per folder. If I have more apps, iOS7 just adds more pages within the folder. So the apps I missed were there all along, just on another page.
I apologize for any confusion, and thank you for taking an interest in helping me solve it.

Undo Delete after it says "cannot undo this delete."

How is this done for an audio file recorded and subsequently deleted in Logic? OS X Snow Leopard iMac, Logic 8, I deleted the wrong audio track (ouch) and it said "Cannot Undo this delete." Well, I need to undo this darned delete! Where is the file I deleted??? It must be on the drive somewhere.
How to recover it? Haven't closed this same session within the application yet.

If the deleted file was recorded since the opening of the project, it is erased from the drive. A dialog warned you about this.
If the recording took place before the current session, it's still in the Audio Bin.
In general, warnings about deletion, erasure and other non-trivial file management stuff are better taken seriously. If it says 'cannot undo this delete', this usually means it cannot undo this delete.

I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. I have tried to download the latest plugin but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet using either Safari or Firefox. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. Can anyone help?

Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Web Service do not work after save in Designer ES2 SP1

Dear all,
I am trying to migrate 8.2.1 process to ES2.
Although it have some bugs, but the process are working fine when using ES2 without any SP.
One day we installed SP1 for ES2 and hopeing for some bugs we found fixed, but find none of them fixed... oh well, so we continue the migration.
And the problem happen when we try to modify the form for some testing, we find that even we *did not* modify anything in the form, if we pressed the save button and deploy the form, all the web service related code in the form will stop working.
Anyone have any idea about this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bill

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the suggestion.
Already tried to update the dataconnection by right click at data view, and choice "Refresh Data View", but that doesn't help, would like to know are there any others way to do so?
I already open a case with the support, but it seem that the engineer in APAC region have a very slow response time...
Just wonder if I can send the case to others support center with better response time.
I tried to compare the form before and after save and find that some information may missing in the post-SP1 form.
In the pre-SP1 from, I can find a <dd:dataDescription> section for every web service used in the form, but in the post-SP1 form they are missing.
I tried to add that section back and it will make the web service usable again, but the problem is I need to do that every times I modify anything, and I also need to create this section for a every new web service added to the form...
Regards
Bill

Azure cannot restart after chkdsk

Azure cannot restart after chkdsk...Please let us know how to get it running again. Thanks.

Hi,
From your query I understand that there is an issue related to the VHD file of the Virtual Machine.
To narrow down on the issue, Firstly, You might want to add this disk as a Data Disk and run chkdsk on it. In order to establish the same, please refer to the below steps
Delete the Virtual Machine by retaining the associated disks
Save the Attached Disks
Go to any other VM in running state / Create a new VM and attach the Data Disk
To attach an Existing Data Disk, please follow the link below
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-windows-attach-disk/#attachexisting
Once the Disk has been added, run chkdsk on that particular disk and update us about the outcome.
Hope this helps !
Regards,
Sowmya

Its like this.. after you dispatch the request by the method call [callWeb...], the dispatcher would dispatch the request to that page and after the page is dispatched and response has been sent, the execution continues on this JSP, ie from the line after the call to the [callWeb..] function.. All you need to do to avoid this exception is,
a) put a return; statement after the call to the function.
Or
b) structure your code in such a way that after the call to the [callWeb..] function, the execution would not continue;
I would prefer the first condition though along with structuring the code in such a way that you need not have that many calls to the function. Instead have a String dest variable, which would change and make a call in the end

Cannot any longer save new smart collections

Hi, after reinstalling Photoshop CS6 I cannot any longer save smart collections in Bridge. Always I want to create a smart collection by entering criteria, but when I click on SAVE, it is not saved. After some time of waiting, I always have to cancel, to close the pop-up window that should allow me to save the new smart collection. In my old installation (before I had to install a new hard disk), setting up and saving smart collections never was a problem.
ALL updates of CS6 have been installed. And I am under WINDOWS 7. Version of CS6 is: 13.01 x64
Before, I used a regular hard disk for the system, now I have a SSD, plus several hard disks for data storage.
Can anybody help me with advice what the problem is?
That whould be great. Thanx,

2146827284Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space

Hi Experts,

Type : System.Exception, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b11a5c481859e569
Message : -2146827284Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.
• To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
• To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to.
The disk space is 30 GB free, I have cleared all the temp files, increased the virtual memory & internet temp files size to max but no luck

You want to use this one here - MMC
comexp.msc /32
THAT will launch the MMC process
as 32 bit then you'll the Microsoft Excel Application.
Right Click -> Properties.
What I did at this point was to select the Identity tab and then select "The Interactive User" (the default was "The launching user"). My app pool was already running as "LocalSystem". I believe by running it as the Interactive User now that it
has the right permissions to save workbooks.
Everything worked after this.
This was a tough one!
