Corrupt file/saving issues

Keynote suddenly wants to save every time I make a change. It is paralyzing, saving every ten seconds. This only happens with one file, others are normal, so it must be corrupt. Tried pasting all the slides into a new file. Nothing. How does one uncorrupt a file?
Mahalo nui loa—that’s our Hawaiian thank you for helping!

After fussing for hours, I discovered it was the presence of a QuickTime movie I had placed on one slide that was causing my grief. I removed the movie, edited the other slides without the hassle of constant saving, and then put the movie back in place when I was done.
Hope this helps others facing this saving glitch.

Internet file saving issues

I used to be able to save files from the internet to my desktop, but am suddenly unable to do so. I have used both Safari and Firefox browsers running on Roadrunner. When I try to save email messages (usually AOL) no messages are actually saved, just a link to AOL. Sometimes web pages save, but usually not, and there does not seem to be a pattern. Even when I select to save "web complete" settings, it fails to save the accompanying folder with the content info. AOL tech say its an Apple issue. Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas? This is a feature I have relied on over the years to let me read info and mail 'offline' without having to venture back into cyberspace.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

File Saving Issue

All yesterday I noticed an issue that has never occurred before. Whenever I save, save as or export, I get a pop-up that says "Replace Files" and it lists the files in the directory. Then if I select replace, it replaces the file, but also saves another one with a -01 after the filename. (Example: filename.eps and filename-01.eps) Normally, I hit ctrl+s and it just saves. Now it does this replace file thing every time. Additionally, it does the same thing when I save as PDF, or export to JPEG. Is this something that I can turn off? I couldn't find it in preferences or anything. I've attached a pic of the message.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Which version of Illustrator are you using? Seems like I remember something like this, but it was back in version 8-10 or so. It's been a long time, so I can't remember what the cause/solution was.
Does it occur with all files, or just the one you are currently working on? Try creating a brand new doc, save it, close it, then re-open and try to make revisions and re-save. Did it happen again?
Could possibly be a file permission problem, but I don't think so since you were able to save to the original file along with the extra one with the "-01".

IDCS4 and Mac Servers - File Saving issues

seems intermittent but.... we have a Mac G5 running Server 10.5.5 where we store all of our customer artwork/files. We use iMacs as workstations (up-to-date on system as well) and access our files with them. Opening a file works fine but when I hit CMD-S to save it asks me where to save instead of just saving the file.
though in some testing today it seems fine. anybody else seen this?

You can do that no problem.

Excel file saving issue

I have an excel file on my OSX Server. When I opening from the server window, I can modify the file and save it. If I take that file and make an alias on my dock, I can open it, modify it but O have to save it with a different filename. I have also noticed that when I open it via the alias it add a number to the end of the filename in the document header (filename1.xlsx). If I close it and open it again it increases the number by one (filename2.xlsx) and so on. I have to delete the old file to save the new file in it's place on the server. This is a relatively new problem since updating to maverick.

Need a little help with an excel issue:
One of my end users has a program that exports a file that she opens with excel and then saves it as filename.trn - She normally was able to save it with quotations around it as "filename.trn" and it would force it with this TRN file extension but the other day this stopped working. Now when she saves it as "filename.trn" it actually ends up being filename.trn.xlsx. I was able to log in with a different domain account on her computer and do this task with no problem so I'm kinda lost here. Anyone have an idea why this started behaving this way and how to fix it?

Email image/file saving issue

Hi
My iPad has just been up dated to iOS 8.1.1
I cant find anyone else online who seems to be having the same issue so lets see.
I have attachments/files/images in emails that I want to save to the ipad. The old style that still just show the file work fine but the previewed images I am having issues with.
I am having trouble with a PDF image of a seating chart, the new iOS is showing a preview of the image at the bottom of the email (as a pose to where you use to click the file and then it would preview and you could save from there).
Now when I press it the little box should pop up with the options i.e. save, print, open with documents etc but the box is not there. Now I can tell the box is active because I am unable to press anything within the email app such as inbox delete nothing works so I know that the box should be showing. Sometimes the mail app will crash, if I close it and reopen it normally sometimes the little box flashes up then disappears within a second.
Please tell me someone has found a solution to this problem as this is really going to screw up my work!
Also please don't tell me to visit my 'local' apple store as its hours away and you have to book an appointment like a week in advance, so that's not going to happen.
Any helpful info would be great appreciated

I am aware of how to open it in documents or save it. The problem is the Open with box is not showing up since the 8.1.1 update, it's obviously there because I can't press anything on the screen and sometimes if I press the home button and go back onto mail it shows for a millisecond and disappears

File saving issues in CS6

I have recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6. After editing a jpeg, I try the Save As command and recieve this message...."could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory RAM"
I also notice that all my images are at 72 dpi, is this going to affect image quality? I shoot in the largest file possible when taking the photographs. Help, I feel like I no longer understand photoshop

Illustrator CS file saving issues

Since migrating to Vista from XP, my Illustrator CS will not allow me to save documents. Every time I try to save, an error message comes up reading "This is a read only file or it is open in another program", which it is not. I must use a save-as every time I save which creates many versions. I also cannot delete these files (same error message). Has this happened to anyone else? Are there any fixes?

Turn off UAC and promote yourself to administrative priviliges or adjust your group policies accordingly. Legacy software is not aware of Vista's security stuff and will not correctly be able to request the respective file handling commands, hence existing files cannot be modified. To salvage you files already in place, log in as admin, select them, right-click --> Properties --> Security --> Advanced --> Take ownership. You should then be able to at least manipulate them as admin.

Photoshop Elements 11 file saving proterties

I am currently using Photoshop Elements 11 trail version to decide if I like it enough to upgrade.
Yesterday, while saving my files - .jpg, .png, psd - etc - when I'd go to access the file to upload, it wouldn't recognize the file.
Then when I went back into PSE 11 to open the file, it wouldn't recognize the file format, no matter what
I have went ahead & uninstalled the program, then restarted my computer, reinstalled & it's doing the same thing.
If this is a known issue, I certainly have no desire to upgrade. I use PSE 8 previously with zero problems.
Please, if anyone can answer why this is happening, I'd really appreciate it.
As for PSE 11 - I do feel, aside from this file saving issue, Adobe got so many things right - I love how PSE 11 has been changed, it's much easier to use, but this file issue, I don't have time for it when my clients are expecting turn around times from me.
Thanks much!
Tori

Thank you for all your responses.
First let me start off with, I am not new to saving files. I've been designing & saving files for over 10+ yrs. I've never ran into this problem with any program until using PSE 11. All my files were saving perfectly fine. This problem just started yesterday with PSE 11 for me. That's why I uninstalled, restarted & reinstalled with a restart after the install.
When I go to save a file, these are my steps
1. File
2. Save as
3. Name of the file (no characters - only using letters, maybe letters & numbers in combination together)
4. I select what format I wish to save it in.
5. Click save
When I did this yesterday, my files were appearing to save, but actually, they were not saving no matter what format I was trying to save that as.
How I found out this was happeneing - I went to upload a file to the web - I was then told the file was not a proper file format. I tried various things such as saving as a png, jpeg, tiff, gif - not of which were working. That's when I uninstalled PSE 11 & as said above, reinstalled, etc.
Screen shot below shows what the icons ended up being - problem right there!
What message I get when I try to open the file
Message I get when I try to upload the file to the web
This is WHY I feel this is a problem with the particular PSE 11 I'm using (downloaded directly from Adobe's site) It's a trial vertson. And I always try to try programs before I invest in them, no matter if they're $20 or $500
I hope all this will help thos of you trying to answer this mystrey question for me. As I mentioned, I've never had this happen before.
Today - it seems to be saving just fine..... and I haven't changed how I save files at all. If this is a known issue with PSE 11, I just wish to know so I don't waste my money on it. I love all the changes Adobe has made to PSE 11, but if it's full of bugs - I'd rather pass is all.
Thanks so much once again!

Excel file corrupt after saving to another disk

I have two PCs at home.: A laptop running Win-7 64-bit, and a desktop running Win-7 32-bit. Both are running Office 2010. Often, but not always, when I save an Excel workbook from one PC onto a shared hard drive on my home network and
then try to open it on the other PC, the other PC displays the "file appears corrupt, would you like Excel to try to recover/repair?" message when I try to open the file. This also happens sometimes when saving to a thumb-drive and attempting to open
it on a non-connected laptopn running XP and Ofice 2007. Most times, Excel successfully repairs/recovers the file without issue. Infrequently, it doesn't repair everything. Today it failed completely and was unable even to open the file on
another PC. I've tried various methods to copy the file. I've experienced the problem when I use Windows Explorer to copy the file from one disk to the other, and also when using both DOS COPY and XCOPY commands. The issue occurs with
many, but not every Excel file I copy. And it doesn't happen every time - only sometimes. It seems to occur more frequently with certain specific files, and and rarely or never happens with specific other files. It occurs in both directions
(i.e. with both the 64-bit Win-7 machine as the "source" machine and with the 32-bit Win-7 machine as the source machine.) All of the files I have problems with are .xlsm files. I have not tried to confirm that it happens only with .xlsm
files. It doesn't seem to matter if the destination file is being overwritten, or if it is being created from scratch by the copy source. I'm baffled. Any suggestions as to why this is happening? How I can prevent it? Thanks.

Hi,
The Office 2010 you used on both computers are 32-bit or 64 bit?
There are some differences between Office 32 bit and 64 bit.
For more information, please refer to the link:

InDesign CS4 - saved gradient got corrupted, file becames unreadable.

Hi all.
I've just got the new CS4 suite a couple of days ago.
All is well installed, been working like crazy for almost 2 days straight, over CS2 files that I had before.
Then I started a brand new document (not imported from older versions), designed it, and it crashed after I've applyed a simple gradient to a frame.
After restarting InDesign CS4, it recovered the file, but the frame with the gradient was Black, and a warning appeared saying the file appears to be corrupted.
"Saving as..." with a new name didn't helped either, seems like every file saved from that one were corrupted.
Scanned the hard drive for bad sectors, all is ok.
The only solution I've got was to:
open the corrupted file
select what I could
"copy" to memory
close the file
create a new document with similar settings
paste and adjust
start all over again for every page and layer
Can someone help, so this doesn't happen again?
Oh, and it also crashed again after creating some colors. On Windows Task Manager, the executable was still there, "eating" about 49% CPU.
Could this have something to do with multi-core? This machine has a dual-core, but others have quads. This is being run over Windows XP Professional SP3, 3Gb Ram.
I couldn't replicate the error yet.
Kind regards,
Bruno Mateus

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the response. I think you nailed it. I had actually updated all the cross references that generated errors, but a few crept through (no errors generated) that referenced a paragraph in the document I copied from. I replaced these with the references in the current document and this solved it. The old document was also on a remote disk, so I'm sure this made matters worse. In addition, I found links to illustrator files on the remote disk. I also copied these files to the local disk and updated all the links (actually I did this first and it made very little difference, it was really the cross references that were the issue).
Thanks,
Anthony

Illustrator CC 2014 files saved as previous versions corrupt

On occasion we need to save Illustrator files as version 8.0 ai files and version 3.0 eps for customers with older software and to import into industry specific software for further work (CAD).
Illustrator CS6 works fine for these tasks. Using CC 2014 the save files are corrupt:
The file saves normally, no errors indicated. Trying to reopen the saved files results in the dialog above. The CC 2014 files reopen fine, the corruption happens to the files saved in previous versions. The files are fairly simple structural designs for the box industry, all basically straight lines, no placed graphics, minimal text for labels.
Mac OS Yosemite, CC 2014

Hi,
It is not possible to open the files in a previous version of Muse. It is not backward compatible.

No icon nor app name.
Now wat should i do to re install d same. I need this application. Help out. Thanks in advance.

Mary,
Thank you for the advice. We have run into that frequently with files on the Portal, but that is not the case with these PDFs.
We are now going to try and put a sniffer on the whole process and see if there are any packets being dropped along the way. That is the only way we can make sense of the issue, since a file will work for one person but not another.
We've synched browsers, Adobe version etc... as well.

Corrupt File issue - Mainly PDF

Has anyone encountered issues downloading PDFs from their site?
We are having several issues, particularly with PDF files where they open fine from the local computer, but after posting to the site, you get a corrupt file message when you try to open it.
I am not sure if this is a PDF issue, a Portal issue, an IE issue or what. Wondering if anyone else has experienced it.
Thanks,
Brian
