Cant' save files on desktop or move to desktop

Hello,
1. I can't save any file to desktop or move any file to desktop.
2. If I klick the Icon "Desktop" in the Finder-Window I get the Message "There is no default application specified to open the document “Desktop”." and the option "Choose Application".
Any ideas to solve the problem?

Thank you for the hint.
Opened "Get Info" and "locked" is not selected but ...
"Get Info" says the Desktop folder is not a "folder"! It's a "package" (General, Kind).
Is it possible to change from "Kind: package" to "Kind: folder"?

Cant save file

"cant save file *.psd because write access was not granted" anybody knows how to solve this???

I have the same issue. When I save a file in a different format "as copy" and then try to save the original document I get all kinds of weirdness. Many times I have lost the layers of my .psd file because the Creative Cloud somehow gets confused and flattens the layers in my psd file just like the JPG or PDF that I saved it "Save As". When I go back to the PSD file later all of the layers are flattened. I know it is not user error because I get that weird "write access not granted" or sometimes "file path is not valid" and that makes me nervous so I save and double-save my work as PSD with the layers intact. Nonetheless they are later found to be gone.

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

I cant save files from Indesign CC

I instaled the New CC and now i can only save files directly to the desktop on my mac. If i try to put them in any folder they will not save and Indesign crashes. I am having the same issue with Photoshop & illustrator.

This doesn't sound like a known issue with InDesign and I cannot produce the issue on my end.
Have you tried resetting your InDesign preferences? If this doesn't work, how about launching the software under a new administrative user account?
see: FAQ: Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences
As the issue persists cross products, something might've gone wrong during installation.
Please try the suggested steps first and see if they help. Thanks!

Cant save files unknown error box

I just loaded the cs3 illustrator trial version today, everything was going fine,but not for some reason it wont let me save anywork that i do on it.it comes up unknown error after the illustrator options box comes up.ive searched and havent found anything else on here about it.thanks for any help

Searched, really? This time search for "unknown error". There are plenty of threads related to this problem. Also search for "Zune", also a known problem for "unknown error".
The short answer is reset (delete) your preferences. This is in the FAQs here:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.eed5198.2cd0b46e
My own personal short answer is don't install the 13.01 or 13.0.2 updates, and can be found here:

Photoshop CS6.1 Cannot save file as .tif-program insists on .pdf

On Mac Pro using OS X attempt to save completed file as .tif. Photoshop insists on saving it as a .pdf. None of the format shown in "Format" field link up with actual extension.

Hi. I have used the PS CS6 trial and an Epson v500 scanner to scan a 6 by 4 image at 6400 dpi using File => Import => From image device. The file was saved as a pdf and opened automatically in CS6. I was satisfied with the image and wanted to save it as a something other than a pdf since pdf is not really a widely accepted image format for archiving. The image size came out to ~ 6 GB. I went to Save As and the only options I see from the save as format drop down box were PSD, TIFF, and PS Raw. I tried Tiff, but it told me it cant save files past 4 GB. IM not interested in the other 2 formats it allowed me to save as. Any ideas? Why cant I save as a JPEG or BMP when something ahs been scanned as a PDF?
As for plugins, I downloaded the official PS CS6 Mac plugins and placed them in the appropriate plugins folder.
Are there file size limitations with respect to saving a copy when you have opened a file as a pdf?
Its not that there is anything wrong with the pdf format, its just that I cannot use the scanner plugin for importing an image from PS6 to save as a Tiff or JPEG under 6400 dpi and 48 bpp settings (this problem was discussed ina nother thread).
Any ideas?

Cant move files from previous saved CD to desktop or anyplace else

Help -- I cant move files from previous saved CD to desktop or anyplace else
I don't know when this started but it was two days ago I noticed this. I have changed all the permissions in info to allow me to have read write access to all my hardrives(2) which are both segmented. May have started when I put in the second HD and now I have three systems installed.
I did erase the com.apple.recentitems.plist -- which did not do anything.
I was able to send a copy of the file from my CD via iCHat with no problem.
Originally it would not allow me to move any files even on the harddrives. Not it seem related to the CD's

this was related to Leopard refusing to give me administrative rights

I can't save files to desktop in OS 10.8.2

is there some reason I can't seem to use the finder to select the desktop to save files to?

So, after a couple of hours on the phone with tech support, turns out somehow the desktop folder was being treated as a document type and terminal was the default program to open it. Never figured out why that could have happened, but had to create a new desktop folder and move all the items from the old desktop into it. So for the time being the problem is gone.

How do I move a file from my mailbox to my desktop/

How do I move a file from my mailbox to my desktop ?

As there is no "desktop" on the iPad, do you mean you want to move a file attachment from an email received on your iPad to the desktop of your computer?
If so, the easiest way is just to access your email account on your computer and save the attachment directly.

Cant download or save file sometimes

When i try to download a file or save it, it starts to download normally till it finished and this pops up "www.xxxx.com could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.
Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location."
It always happen. I tried saving it into different places like on my desktop and in other drives but the same thing pops up. I really have no idea and this is interfering with work so please please i really need help.
Thankyou

Every time Firefox opened
== It started 2 days ago

This may be a problem with the %TEMP% folder.
Firefox immediately starts downloading the file to the temp folder and move the file after you have supplied the name and location to that folder.
It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing.

HT201361 Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop. How can I change the folder?

Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop (that is the default). How can I change the destination folder? Thank you, Sal

To change the screenshot capture location to a new place on your Mac, first think of a location that would serve you properly. We like to place ours in a "Screenshot" folder located inside of the User's "Pictures" folder. To change the location to this new location, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[u]/Pictures/Screenshots/
Replace "[u]" with the name of the user on your system. Once you have entered this command, let's restart the screen capture utility by restarting the SystemUIServer by entering the following command:
killall SystemUIServer
You can optionally log out and back in instead of entering this second command, thus restarting the SystemUIServer. Once restarted, all screen captures taken from here on out will end up in your /Pictures/Screenshots/ folder in the User's home folder on your Mac.

I can't save files to my desktop, but I can save anywhere else. How do I fix this?

I can't save files to my desktop. I have no problem saving the same file anywhere else. WHen I try through excel, for example, it tells me the file is read only. When I try to save it as a different file name, a pop up tells me I do not have permission to save to the desktop. The same issue occurs when I attempt to take a screen shot (default save to desktop)

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, give yourself Read & Write access under Sharing and Permissions or Ownership and Permissions, and ensure it's not locked.

I cannot print from Websites or my college online course. Tries to save files to desktop as an .xps document but nothing happens and I get an error message that print command did not work. Have reinstalled firefox and adobe, no help. Any suggestions?

Cannot print anything from internet using Firefox as browser. Please advise. I have to use Firefox for internet college courses, cannot print my assignments. I do not have this problem on Mac or using Internet Explorer. Only happens when using Firefox. When I select print a message comes up to save information to desktop as .xps file. Select save, sometimes it is on the desktop but I cannot open the file or it simply does not save file and get an error message that print command failed. What is happening?

{Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.
