Couldn't Save File - Error Message

Recently after adding a few more pages and updating some existing pages on my site, I have been met with an error saying I cannot save my website using the save function of iWeb, I receive the "Couldn't Save File" error message, however it doesn't tell me what file can't be saved or what file might be missing. I am running verision 1.1.2. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Dear DOHCVTEC187:
I had that same error. iWeb would open with a "can't open file :unamed" error, and also would give me a "can't save" error. I searched on the discussions, and found a few things that might help.
First, save/backup your Domain. That is where iWeb saves all that cool web info. It should be located in:
<user>/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
I try to make a back up this when ever I make big changes anyways. Alway a good idea. Burn it to Disk, put it on another HD. Etc. Then delete the original, leaving the folder empty.
Second:
Trash iWeb preferences, located:
<user>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist
Now, use Disk utility to repair permissions. I do this as a helpful step.
Then restart.
After restarting, open up iWeb. Hopefully it opens with out the error, since we are starting from "scratch". It should ask for you to create a new page/ new site. ie, remaking a "domain". Make a singe page. Save and then quit iWeb. It should run smoothly.
Now, go find that "new" domain you just made, and replace it with your old one.
That should help.
Also, one thing that I found when this error happened to me was that I had built links to documents , such as PDF for people to download. Thus the error "couldn't open, unnamed" etc. It was because those links were "broken", so I had to find each link that I pointed to a PDF, and double check that it was still working and pointed to the correct file. Could be a pain in the but if you have alot of PDF's, etc, but it was worth it.
Hope this helps!

  • Can't save file: error message states -unbalanced tag..

    <body class="twoColElsLtHdr">
    I am not able to 'save as' a file I created yesterday.  An error message box comes up & states that line 249 is an 'unbalanced tag' I am hoping someone can explain what I need to do to get this problem resolved.  I was making a 'blurb optin page' just playing around with the newly downloaded DW & ended up (kinda) liking what I had made by the seat of my pants not knowing obviously what I was doing.  I inserted a 1shoppingcart html at one point & that is when things got screwey...Line 249 is very close to where I inserted the extra html code... Can someone help me please?  ... The unbalanced tag is listed above.  I don't know if this is all the info that would be needed for the solution.... Please let me know...
    I thank you... Mae

    Could also mean there is an unclosed tag of some sort either a div, a table, ..  it's only a guessing game without actually seeing the working page.
    Could you upload the page (and associated files) to a server and provide a link.
    Another way would be to put the page through the html validator and see if it picks up where the error is;

  • Can't save image, error message ???

    Hi, I'm trying to save a pdf image in photoshop, as I always do, hitting command S, or going to file-save. I keep getting an error message saying "could not save "x" file because the file is already in use or was left open". Well duh, of course it's in use, I'm working on it.
    Anybody know what's going on here? Am I missing something?
    Thanks!!
    Eric

    Thank you! I'll give it a try!

  • "Unable to Check Out File Error" Message

    I'm new to using Adobe products, so forgive me if this is a dumb question! My graphic designer sent me a INDD file to edit the text in and when I try to open it in both InDesign and InCopy, I receive an "Unable to Check Out this File" error message. I just downloaded InDesign CC and InCopy CC (the free trial versions). She said that all settings on her end should allow me to view it. Any help is much appreciated!
    Thank you!

    I've just experienced the same error message in CS4. I got rid of it by going to the Links panel, selecting all the links to Incopy, and Unlinking.

  • Cannot locate original music file error message???

    cannot locate original music file error message ??? i transferred to a new laptop then some of my music collection seems to get this message .

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Itunessetup.exe couldn't be downloaded error message for for vista.

    itunessetup.exe couldn't be downloaded error message for for vista. Couldn't get the update so I uninstalled itunes and still get the error message. I tried reconfiguring the start up components with no luck. anybody know how to fix this?

    I actually had started on this before your post but you are right. My luck created some issues but after I got around that it worked. I uninstalled everything in the order it needed to. While I was doing this windows had an update. When I restarted something must have went wrong with the update and it crashed on the start up. took me a while to restore it but when I was done it brought back the programs in their damaged state.
    So I did the uninstall process again. restarted. and reinstalled and it all works now.
    Thank you for the help.
    For those reading this the order to uninstall goes as:
    iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support, iCloud, and finally MobileMe. Skip over any you don't have installed. Then Restart then reinstall itunes.

  • Quick time 'this is not a movie file' error message

    PLEASE HELP!
    i've recently downloaded some movies off the internet (.avi files) and although all have originally opened and played in quicktime, i am now getting 'this is not a movie file' error messages for all of them. I've had this before and restarting the computer has usually helped - but not this time. I've also tried reinstalling quicktime, as well as installing divx (i get an error message saying this file cannot be opened). for some reason i can't install VLC (some message about not being able to mount).
    I've also burnt the files to a cd and tried playing from there (Rather than my external hard drive) but still won't work. The files won't even open up a preview... i really don't understand what could have happened though - i've opened and played all of them when i first downloaded them and they worked just fine!
    i'd appreciate any help.
    cheers

    The fact that you cannot even mount one file or install another makes it sound more like an OS problem than a QT problem, though I guess in part some people deserve what they get with pirated movies through torrents. Have you repaired permissions?
    The files you cannot even use that are not the videos in question indicate your problems lie elsewhere.

  • "Preview not available for this file" error message.

    I'm using LR 4.4 but it hasn't worked correctly since I got my new camera (Canon 70D). When trying to import I keep getting the "Preview not available for this file" error message. I had some better luck connecting the camera with a usb cable, that let me see the jpg images, but it would not let me see the raw (.cr2) images. Would I solve this problem by upgrading to LR5?
    I'm running LR 4.4 on a Windows 7 PC.
    Thanks for any help that can be provided.

    Support for the Canon 70D was introduced with LR version 5.2. see the link below.

  • Thumbnails appear but missing file error message if try to open

    PSE worked fine for 2 months, when downloading to Shutterfly organizer crashed. uninstalled and reinstalled-problem persisted. Set up new user/administrator and organizer would open but with "missing file error message" if tried to open thumbnail picture. Then unistalled pse8 and reinstalled pse6. Still get missing file error, but again I can see the thumbnails. I had at one point 5000 photo's and deleted 3000 to reduce clutter using the delete from harddrive option when I did so. Now I once again have 5000 photo's cataloged ?? At this point I would be happy to simply get pse6 working as it should, any suggestions please. I have a lot of time and knowledge invested in PSE and I hate to cop out to Picassa at this point ?

    I'm slowly getting this mess untangled. It seems that on the reinstalls of pse8 following organizer crash that even photo's that were previously deleted from both catalogs AND harddrive must still keep a thumbnail version hidden in some file somewhere. when I used the delete option in the missing file dialog I was able to remove them from the current catalog. It seems as though after too many software upgrades and photo's copied and saved through the years, you might as well by a new computer and mke a fresh start. But then again I'd just have to deal with windows7 and pse8 compatibility issues anyway. D@&D if I do, D@&D if I don't scenario !!

  • Unrecognised File error message

    I have a clip shot on a sony AVHCD camcorder. It was shot using a h.264 codec and I want to edit in FCE.
    I've converted the clip using quicktime pro 7 to DV-PAL.
    The clip plays fine on my imac but when i attempt to import to final cut i get an "unrecognised file" error message and the clip isnt imported.
    Any ideas whats causing this?

    OK thats making sense.
    So the clip was imported from the camera to iMovie where it was initially edited into a final file. That file was then shared to AppleTV.
    Some years later I decided to make changes to that clip and it was the finished iMovie project in .m4v that was being converted in QT7 for use in FCE.
    When I now look at the interface in QT7, my audio options are listed as:
    Linear PCM
    AAC
    Apple Lossless
    MPEG-4 AAC Enhanced
    MPEG-4 AAC Low Delay
    MPEG-4 HE AAC
    MPEG-4 HE AAC V2
    So I assume either Linear PCM or Apple Lossless comply to your suggestion?

  • How do i fix or avoid a corrupted file error message

    i get an corrupted file error message when i try to send a video from photoshop elements 5.0 to adobe premiere elements 3.0. video plays in photoshop but wont transfer, by photoshop, disc or file. cants get anything into premiere elements. help?
    lyndaloon

    Lynda,
    Are you attempting to send a video file which you have on your hard drive to Premiere Elements3? Or is it a slideshow which you have just made in the PSE slide show create  function which you are attemptin to send ?
    If it is a video file on your hard drive, then I suggest  that you first try to bring the video directly in to Premiere Elements 3.  If you have already attempted adding a video file directly to Prem Elem 3, then I recommend that you post your question in the separate forum for Premiere Elements. I suggest that you include info about the file type and codec of the video file as well as what variation of Windows you are running. 
    Premiere Elements forum at
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
    FYI
    - I have previously sent photo files from Photoshop Elements 5 to Premiere Elements 3: however I have never attempted to do a Send of a video file. There are many types of video files for which the PSE 5 Organizer has very limited support and that is why I think that you would be better using Premiere Elementa 3 to work with video.
    Or perhaps you might have a newer format of video file that Premiere Elements 3 does not support for editing. For example, AVCHD format is not supporedt in PE 3 but is supported in newer versions.  This  question about types of video is better asked in the Premiere Elements forum.

  • Can't save a file; error message says file couldn't be opened

    Using Pages '09 ver. 4.3 and OSX 10.8.4
    When I try to save a new document in pages, I get an error message that says "the file 'xxxx.pages-tef" couldn't be opened. 
    How can I fix this so that I can start saving files again?

    Pages 5.2 Mac OSX 10.9.2
    Start Pages app
    Create a blank document
    File > Save or <Command>+S
    Select Mac Device and find your user folder or favorite, Desktop (not iCloud)
    Error: the file "Untitled.pages" couldn't be opened!?!
    Repeat giving the document a different name and it works
    Since when do we write error messages with "n't"?
    Usually a well written error message offers a suggestion as to what you might do about it?
    Since it says opened and I clicked on Save, there is a bug in there somewhere.
    All I was trying to do today was copy and paste some text from a website into numbers spreadsheet
    Both Edit > Paste options but the text in one cell so I tried to save it as a text file first to try and import the data
    Text Edit does not have a text only export format so before loading Terminal and starting vi or emacs, I tried pages. I'll go try XCode's editor or my Windows 7 vm with notepad and openoffice
    I miss the old Pages with the Appleworks importer, this one needs more Quality Assurance Testing IMHO
