Compressor does not save files?

After searching the Compressor threads I have yet to find the answer to my issue.
Using Final Cut Pro 7.0.1, I imported footage shot on a Canon XL-1, edited it then exported to Compressor 3.5.1 (using the DVD Best Quality settings) to use it in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2.
The first few times I did it, it worked fine. Then, as I had to fix up the clip and re-export to Compressor, it would run normally, the Inspector doesn't show any mistakes or problems and it takes the average 40mins to an hour to work. But when it's done, the clip is nowhere to be found on the computer and the external drive.
I tried to re-export using 'Send-to/Compressor' and use different names to different folders, even to different drives, I also tried 'Share/DVD', 'Share/other' and 'Share/to Compressor' with no luck.
I get the same problem with different clips i.e.: Motion clips used in FCP to Compressor, 1min-45min-90min as well as 140min clips. I copied the exact file names, ran Compressor then copied the name in Finder to see where the file is going and it's not there.
From the threads I tried changing Targets from its preset to Cluster Storage, resetting the Background Processing for the Batch Monitor, changing priority from HIGH to MEDIUM, deleting the Finder Folder: and restarting the machine: I did those steps one at a time, then retried the export, then moved on to the other steps: I didn't do all of them at once.
I recently Zapped FCS2 from my iMac 24in 2.93GHz AND my MacBook Pro 2.4GHz, because I originally had an academic version, in order to install FCS3. Both machines are running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 with 4GB of RAM.
Sorry about the long explanation but I wanted to cover all the bases without wasting anyones time with troubleshooting already performed. I'll appreciate any help I can get as this project was due last week and I'm running out of excuses to give to the client!
Thanks.

So I have a fix to this problem but not a permanent answer or solution yet. See link to other posting below, thanks.

HELP - FM10 does not save files - Now Resolved

Thanks all viewers! Issue resolved.
A recently installed FM plugin (AcrolinxIQ) seem to have caused the issue.
Plugin uninstalled - issue resolved.
I have an issue with saving files/book files that has been occurring since October 17th, 2013.
Win7 (64-bit),
FM10 (10.0.2.419) installed (working in Unstructured).
When I have a book open, I click the Save button for any of the files (including the book file), the button does not grey out.
1. When I select File > Save all files in a Book, frame shows all the signs that it "saves" all the files.
2. I then select FIle > Close all files in a Book.
3. Frame now prompts - do I want to save each and every file.
I have to click Yes/No to each and every file (nightmare).
4. I then manually click the Save button to save the book, and again - the button does not grey out.
5. I then click File > Close Book, Frame now prompts do I want to save the book file.
Here's what I tried so far to resolve, but without any success:
1. I typically work with files located on a netword drive, so I copied some books over to a local drive (c:\). SAME BEHAVIOUR.
2. I completely uninstalled Frame, and installed it again. SAME BEHAVIOUR.
Anyone here seen this? Any ideas?

You will want to ask your question in the Illustrator forum. The creation of the file has nothing to do with Reader.
Good luck.

LR cc does not save files in Original Folder - various folder issues

the LR cc application is in my Windows 7 C: drive, a 256 MB Solid State Drive. I keep all my images on a 1T Hard drive, "My Pictures." I convert raw CR2 files to DNG files using the Adobe DNG converter, and store them in a labeled folder in My Pictures (on the 1T hard drive). I then make jpegs from the DNG image files, often with lots of "development" (adjustments.) When I save them, I export them to the "Same Folder As Original." BUT, they are always exported to an entirely new folder located on my C: Drive, my SSD. This error started happening recently; I have used lightroom for several years and never had this issue. In addition, it seems to make a copy of my DNG files in the same folder, and those files seem to be different from my originals. (I think lightroom keeps track of the adjustments somehow, without using sidecar files. I don't know how that works. I got an error message when I tried to use one of the DNG files after I deleted them from the C: drive.
What's going on? I tried looking at Preferences but did not find a relevant topic.

I have to say that menu bar has been the same for many, if not all, versions of LR. It also give you a description of what each option does, IIRC.
You have all the options you need, "Copy as DNG" (What that does is take whatever file extension you are using, even a DNG file, and converts it to a DNG, Yes even if the original is a DNG), "Copy" (I hope you know what that does. COPIES the files from the original location to another location of your choosing), "Move" (MOVES the file/files from the original location and places it/them in a folder of your choosing) all the above also put the images in the LR database and last but not least Add (All that does is add the images to your Lightroom database).
I always use the ADD option as I copy my images off the memory card to a folder or folders of my choosing first.

Time Capsule does not save files

I recently tried to make a backup with the new MacBook I have but I always get the same answer from the Time Capsule System that there the backup is too large for the backup volume and that Time Machine requires more backup volume. Now, I dont know how to create more backup volume, the Time Capsule I have is a 2TB system and I thought that new backups would overwrite the oldest backups ...

How much data is TM backing-up? The amount used on your internal HD (and any externals that are also being backed-up)?
Is anything else on the TC besides these backups? If so, what, and how large?
I thought that new backups would overwrite the oldest backups ...
Yes, if it can. But it won't delete your last remaining backup, so you're without any.
See #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details.
Sounds like it's trying to do do a very large backup, and just can't make room.

Recording does not save the file

We are facing a serious problem with Captivate 2. After
recording about 40 -50 slides it does not save the file.
The system hangs for several minutes and there’s no
response.To analyze this problem we have tried out User Forums and
FAQs.In the User Forum too similar problems are reported. For
example, visit:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=67&catid=464&threadid =1261116&enterthread=y
In fact, in our team Captivate is loaded on a standalone
hi-end system with ample space and memory.
We have also tried workarounds to address this issue. For
example, we deleted all temp files from library and we also saved
it on a short path like c:/project.
Nothing works!!!

Hi Madduser and welcome to our community
When you say
To analyze this problem we have tried out User Forums and
FAQs are we to assume you simply searched them and read the
threads? I'm assuming this because this is your first post here.
You will note that the thread you linked to mentioned the
person was attempting to save on a network. I do see you have tried
using the shortened local path to no avail, so I'm guessing the
network is ruled out here.
As usual, I've got more questions than answers, but hopefully
as we work through them something will come to light.

you?

Image Capture does not save a scanned file

Image Capture using an HP Photosmart C3180 to scan a document does so but does not save the file to the Desktop.
A pop-up windows displays Scan Results but still not file
O/S Lion, Image Capture Version 6.1 (440).
Used to work, what is the deal?

As for the scanner - so is this new one wireless? When I hooked up my Epson All-in-One, I had to install it via USB first before I could install the wireless (per their instructions). With Snow Leopard, I simply installed the driver and it covered and recognized both the print and scan function - not so in Lion; I had to go through hoops with the scanner part and it finally showed up as a separate unit. I thought that is silly, but - as long as it works..... I'm trying to think of possibilities since I'm about out of ideas, so you might want to consider that (if it applies). The other troubleshooting suggestions usually include redoing the "add" function after a reboot.
As for Image Capture, I am out of ideas. FWIW, I never use it - in my workflow, there is no need for it. Not sure if this would have an impact, but make sure that you choose Image Capture in the CDs&DVDs Preference Pane (mine is set to ignore or ask purposely):
If that does not work, I'd suggest reinstalling the OS over the top of what you have.

I am trying to save a large file on Illustrator CS6 and it does not save and instead says "Unknown Error Occurred." What do I do?
The file has 4 artboards with webpage designs. I tried to take two of the artboards, create a separate doc with those two, and save, but the result was the same.
However, I am able to save simpler, smaller files.
I need to not lose these files and I am afraid to quit and restart and lose my unfinished work.

Report Template does not save

HI,
I am creating a new report template. On save I get this error: Error occurred while saving the document template; save again. Although I save again, it does not save the layout. At this stage I don't check the symbols as I have not yet created any into the layout. Even though I say 'check', it does not save at all.
Can anyone help. I have checked the File locations for Template folder to be correct C:\....\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\wwi
Am on GUI 7100.3.12
Patch 12
Any recommendations ? Thanks

Hello Sanjay,
It seems to be DMS configuration issue. May be your system is trying to store the template document to external database by using "kpro". Please check for following two configurations:
1. Go to Basic Data & Tools-->Report Definition >Settings for Document Management>Assign EHS doc type to DMS doc type Here for doc type "SBV" , Ty. should be "SBV" and Data Carrier should be "SAP System" if you are not specifying any external server for document storage.
2. Next, Go to Basic Data & Tools-->Report Definition >Settings for Document Management> Check Doc types and doc statuses. Go to the "Details" of doc type "SBV", and uncheck "kpro" if checked.
If you have configured external server for WWI docs, then you need to define different data carrier.
Please tell if it solves your problem, otherwise you may be probably having problem with your document status management.
In that case, you may like to refer following SAP notes in sequence.

Acrobat 9.4.2 does not save/export all graphic formats

Dear all,
Obviously i had my glass of wine to early! See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/798630 for the whole story of my re-re-re-istallation of Acrobat.
The installation of 9.0 from the TCS2 DVD was OK
After update to 9.2 my tests displayed correct results for all desired tasks
After the update to 9.4.2 i obviously did not test thoroughly enough (hence the glass of whine).
Later it turned out that 9.4.2 does not save/export graphic formats:
pdf (all flavours), eps and ps are exported correctly
html (all flavours) export a html file and the image as jpg correctly
jpg, jp2 does not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
doc, rtf save issue error message "Save As failed to process this document. No file has been created"
png and tif do not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
xml table and xml export correctly
txt (both flavours) are exported correctly
Hence the only method i can get a picture is to export as HTML and through away the HTML... or: enlarge the picture as much as possible on the screen and take a screen shot.
What is missing in this installation?
During my re-re-re-installtions some Windows updates may have happened.
Any help available for this issue?
Klaus Daub e

The story goes on and hopefully Adobe has an answer/fix for this
There was an automatic update from 9.4.2 to 9.4.3, but the problem still existed.
So I decided to uninstall Acrobat and re-install it for the nth time: start with the installation of 9.0 from TCS2, reboot, update to 9.2, reboot, update to 9.4.3 and reboot again.
The result is very mixed (and this was alrady with the newly installed 9.0):
Save as RTF or DOC creates RTF and DOC files - although the contents is not that useful.
Save as PNG is OK
Save as JPG, JP2 or TIF works, but it turns out, that the files are all PNG (although with the various extensions)!
Creating a snapshot now works correctly. The clipboard receives a bitmap. However: although I have set the preferences for the snapshot to be of 96 dpi the bitmap gets the property 72 dpi!
Setting acrobat.exe to be Compatible to XP SP3 does not change a jota.
Keep in mind: on Windows XP things worked correctly for a long time. Switching to Window 7, x64 creates this strange problem.
I need to start with Acrobat from the TCS2 DVD, because otherwise I do not get the correct implementation for working with FrameMaker.
I'm very reluctant to buy Acrobat X, for me there are too many gimmics there (besides the costs).

Photoshop CS6 - Batch function will not save files

OK, I have used the "Automate/Batch" function well over a hundred times, so this situation (first time using it in CS6) is VERY frustrating!
Running Adobe CS6 extended v. 13.0.1 x32 on a Win XP sp3 OS.
I have a slew of photos that need nothing done except to resize from the native file size to 6 in x 4 in @ 150 ppi and save into a new folder (to not override the original). I have recorded the action multiple times now and each time I run the action, the files do not save! Here are the various parameters I've used:
Attempt #1:
     Action Steps Recorded -
Open
Save for web (set size parameters here)
Close
      Batch settings -
Play Set: correct folder selected; Action: correct action selected

Please help! This has never been a problem before CS6 and I truly am at my wits end trying to figure out why the files will not save. I have several hundred files that I need to run this on, so doing it individually is not an option.
Thanks in advance for any and all insights!

I'm having a problem with Automating > Batch as well. Strange enough, I did a batch of other photos and it worked fine. Selecting a new set of folders is not working at all; the files simply pop open and then close but the destination folder remains empty. It also doesn't appear the actions are occuring since I don't see them highlighting as the automation runs. I have no idea why it would work then not. BTW, "Override Action "Save As" is unchecked.
~CG
UPDATE: I put a "save as" command at the beginning of the action, then checked the "Override Action "Save As" box and it somehow works now, but not before stalling on an image (normally the last in the folder) and complaining that the image was being used in another program. The only other program opened was Bridge so I'm unsure why it had a problem. I closed both programs and ran the automation with nothing else opened and it worked ... ?? Confused, but not complaining (for now).

"Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

Hello,
When I tried save as a file, I get an error msg:
"Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."
The file is not open anywhere accept Photoshop.
Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.6
Photoshop CS4.
I searched the forum but could not find anything even though i'm sure someone already asked it.
would love to get a solution for that.
thank you,
shlomit

There is a problem with both Photoshop and InDesign, then we can blame wich ever it is.
1. I open a .psd file in Photoshop CS4 by double clicking it in Bridge
2. This image is placed on a page in a open InDesign document.
3. Doing some changes in Photoshop on the image.
4. Trying to save and get this error message (this topics subject)
5. Deleting the image from the page in ID doc, it is the only one in the document.
6. Can't still save file.
7. Closing ID completely and now I am able to save the file.
I tried turning of Live preflight in Indegisn but that didn't help.
So probably the fault is InDesign or the MacOS. I didn't have this problem with CS3. It is a stupid problem because this type of workflow is pretty common and one would expect it to be solved by now.

My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module.

My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure, highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information reflected in the histogram.
This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to look the same.
Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng to see if this is a work around.
Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X 10.10.1
Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

Happy New Year!
The Develop panel Tone settings in your Dec 31 screenshot show both the Highlights and Shadows controls set to negative values (-48 and -19). For most images (such as this model shot) they should be set to opposite values (-Highlights and +Shadows). To try and duplicate your issue I used negative values for both of these controls with a similar high contrast image. I noticed that the Shadows control becomes non-linear when both the Highlights and Shadows controls are set to negative values. As I moved the Shadows control from a positive value the Shadows clipping indicator comes ON as expected. Moving the Shadows control to a value caused the clipping indicator to turn OFF and moving it further negative caused it to turn back ON again.
The following screenshots demonstrate the issue with only Highlights & Shadows controls applied as shown.
The Highlights & Shadows controls set just to the threshold of extinguishing the clipping indicators.
Moving the Shadows control toward negative causes the Shadow clipping indicator to come ON (as expected), but at-13 it goes OFF again!
Moving the Shadows control further negative causes the Shadows clipping indicator to come back ON at -33.
This is probably normal behavior for the PV2012 Image Adaptive Tone controls as they were not designed to be used way (- - or ++ Highlights & Shadows). The PV2012 Tone controls all interact with each other, which is why it is suggested to adjust them from the Top down starting with Exposure. For most images using -Highlights and +Shadows of near equal value produces good results.
I still can't duplicate the change in clipping indicators after selecting another image, so it may be unique to certain camera models and/or lighting conditions.
SUGGESTION
Try one of the image files that exhibits this issue using the following PV2102 Tone control adjustment procedure:
Start with all of the Tone controls at their default 0 settings and adjust them from the top-down in the order shown below.
Set Exposure to correct midtone brightness ignoring the highlight and shadow areas for now. Setting Exposure slightly higher (+.25 to +.50 EV) than what looks correct for the midtones seems to work best with most images.
Leave Contrast at 0 for now. It’s usually better to adjust this after the first pass.
Adjust Highlights so that blown out areas are recovered and “fine tonal detail” is revealed.
Adjust Shadows to reveal fine detail in dark areas. For most normal images simply setting +Shadows = -Highlights (Example +50 and -50) works very well.
The Whites control sets the white clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
The Blacks control sets the black clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
Now go back and adjust the Contrast control to establish the best midtone contrast
If necessary “touch-up” the controls using the same top-down workflow.
If the issue persists I suggest Exporting an image to DNG file format with the settings that exhibit the issue and post it to Dropbox or other file download site.

View Object Editor in JHS 10.1.2 does not save any changes....

Hi,
When I did exactly as the JHeadstart Tutorial says, I noticed that
in JHeadstart 10.1.2 with JDeveloper 10.1.2
JHeadstart does not save any changes I make in the View Object Editor
of the Application Structure File Editor !!!
For instance when I change the Width property of an Attribute from 60 to 5
it changes to 5, but when close the View Object Editor
and reopen it again, the Width is back to 60...
Even when I click the button "Validate the Application Structure File" before
closing the VO Editor....
What do I do ??? Is the only solution to edit the XML file
or something like that without using the VO Editor ?
Or is there a better solution ?
Does it maybe work in an older version of JHeadstart ?
If so, where is the older version available for download ?
Thanks,
Eric Joosse

Eric,
How did you leave the JHeadstart VO editor?
The changes should be saved when you click the OK button in the VO editor itself, but they are not saved if you click Cancel, or the little cross in the upper right corner, or leave it open while going back to the Application Structure File editor. That's because it's a standalone editor (you can also find it when right-mouse-clicking the VO in the Model project). The icon in the Application Structure File editor is just a quick way to get to it.
Hope this helps,
