CS4 programme error trying to save picture files!

Hi,
I have a frustrating error when trying to save some of my older picture files with CS4 Extended. The ones that I am looking at are 5 years old and taken with my Canon 5D. When I open a file and then try to save it the save option is grey and only save as is available. When I try to save as I get the error Could not complete your request because of a programme error.
I have been trouble shooting the problem images and see that I cannot get File Info on these images with the following error, Could not complete the File Info command because of a problem with the File Info module. When I look at some earlier D10 pictures they operate perfectly as do my more recent 5DMkII images. I have tried removing the Exif data from the problem files and all the problems go away so I must be something to do with this embedded data. The problem images don't have corrupt data... it is all there and looks correct.
I keep track of my photos with IDimager V4.
Does anyone have a explaination or a cure for this problem as the last thing I want to do is loose my File Info for all those old picture that I still need to work on and use.
Many thanks,
Nick

Open the photo in another software program such as GIMP or Paint Shop Pro X2 and save as in that software. After that open it in CS4.
Cs4 sometimes is flaky with damaged files and won't open them. Others will and re-saving it in different software will fix the problem.

which version of Photoshop Elements are you using? Also, do tell us about the flavour of Operating System you are using and the format in which you are trying to save your file.
You can also try saving your file to a different location( e.g. desktop) to check if your computer has any permission issues

Error when trying to save a file

I get this error when trying to save any file (newly created or not) word document in MS word 2010:"You are attempting to save a file type (plain text files) that has been blocked by your File Block settings in the Trust Center".
I followed the directions given by the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 922850, but I am still having this issue. I can still save files as PDF but not in any kind of word format.
I also tried opening another file copy and pasting under a different name and it doesn't help.
Please Help.

Hi,
Please try the following methods:
Using Administrative Template files and the Office Customization Tool to disable the restriction

SpaceFM Error - Error: Unable to save session file. Permission denied

Hi.
I have just installed linux-rt from AUR
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51360
Everything installed correctly and is working so far.
It's just that whenever I'm with a folder open (even if I dont do anything) and click the X to close the window, this error appears:
SpaceFM Error
Error: Unable to save session file.
Do you want to exit without saving?
( Permission denied )
I usually click yes and nothing happens - or seems to.
If it helps, I AM able to read, write, copy and delete files.
The problem ( I THINK ) seems to be just aesthetics AND/OR not affecting me at the moment?
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: In fact LOTS of issues just showed up...
1- Transmission doesn't resume downloads.
I closed it and opened again and there were no downloads and when I tried to start them again, there was an error saying: Unable to save resume file (or something close)
2- I just logged in (at the login screen, lol) as root and ALL problems disappeared, transmission saves things again, no more SpaceFM error etc.
Anyone has any clues what is this permissions problem ?? The whole OS is new and I didn't install anything, it wasn't supposed to be happening.

Just stumbled on this, dunno about your other problems, but as far as your spacefm problem, go to ~/.config and sudo rm -r spacefm

PPT has found an error and cannot save the file in Microsoft Powerpoint2010

I have been working in 2010 for 6 months and this is the 3rd time I have experienced this error. I am using my own 2010- created, macro-enabled template - I want to save the file but I get an error message stating PPT
has found an error and cannot save the file.
This has happened on both newly created files using this template, and files previously successfully saved. The template has been used without error many, many times.
I have on occassion been able to save as a 97-2003 file and then resave (with some loss of function) as a 2010 macro-enabled file, on another occassion I was not able to do this and lost some work.
Copying into a new document didn't solve the problem. Copying into a different template didn't solve the problem.
Any ideas what is happening, and how I can stop it happening?
Kind regards

Hi,
Have you tried saving the file in *.pptm format (basically this extension is for powerpoint presentation with macros)
Maybe try Save As and see if you can save it under a different name.
Once you get the file closed, then reopen PPT and go to Office Button | PPT Options | Resources. Run Office Diagnostics there.
In addition, make sure you have a local printer driver installed and set as the default printer. And it really might fix the issue.
Here's info on what to do:http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00952.htm

Photoshop CS5 64x partially freezes up after trying to save a file !

Photoshop CS5 freezes up after trying to save a file. It doesnt freeze up totally .It just leaves me about 3 choices from the drop down menu.
This only happens with the installed 64 bit version and not with the installed 32 bit version?
My Operating System(OS) is Win.7 64x. I have all the latest versions of everything installed! The computer is run by an Intel 7 930 quad core processor with 8GB DDR 3 Ram(1600Hz). I have reinstalled both Photoshop Versions(32&64 bit versions) but still get the same problem.
The image files that i have tried to save are not corrupted as I can save them using the 32bit ver. But cannt save them via the 64 bit ver. without the software partially freeing up! Would be most grateful for any proper and constructive advice in order to remedy this problem.
All the best from NUGCS5.

Re comparing to Irfan View:
For what it's worth, Irfan Skiljan's marketing strategy is just different than Adobe's. He may actually be more wealthy for having written that one application than most any Adobe engineer has made from Photoshop (well, maybe not Mr. Knoll). I know I've paid Irfan for my copy. By some counts he has hundreds of millions of copies in circulation. If only one in a thousand people paid him the $10... And who knows what Google pays him for piggybacking their stupid toolbar (grrrrr, but it's deselectable)...
I agree with you that recovering a corrupted file at all costs is way better than "nope, can't open it for you", don't get me wrong.
Just keep in mind that IrfanView is not chopped liver - it's Irfan's lifetime achievement, and he may well have a few unique tricks all his own up his sleeve. In some parts of the software world a bright individual can still shine, even amongst the giants.
At least you have a workaround: Open it in Irfan View, Copy, File-New in Photoshop, Paste, Merge Down.

Flashing screen when trying to save a file

When i tried to save a file from Microsoft, when the screen popped up to show the possible folders to save, it started to flash at the folder preview (not the whole preview but half from mid point to bottom of the display). It was very lagging when scrolling down even though I still have almost 1GB of free memories. Most of the time I can't scroll anymore so I have to save the file somewhere without a folder and then drag to the desired folder in Finder. What should I do here?

Save the file as a new name. Close and Open the new file.
Most likely when a file transfer happens, Office makes the file 'Read Only'.
If you have two opened files with the same name, the last opened file will be 'Read Only'.

How do you transfer photo albums to the computer? When I hook to USB, it only shows photos from the camera icon, not the photos icon. I am trying to save pictures for the in-laws from their ipad.

I have no clue that you mean by it only shows photos from the camera icon. It has to show the photos in the camera roll of the photos app since those are the only photos that you can import via the USB cable.
There are other ways of transferring photos to a computer, but they involve using third party apps. There are WiFi transfer apps that will do this. DropBox will also let you upload photos to a public folder and then download them to a computer.

I am trying to save a file in Acrobat and get an error message...

I am trying to save my Turbotax file in pdf form but every time I try, I get the following message: " An error occurred in the processing of your tax return in PDF format. Error: 4" Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I downloaded the most current form of Acrobat today. Thank you-Gail

schipperkefarms wrote:An error occurred in the processing of your tax return in PDF format. Error: 4"
That doesn't sound like an Acrobat error at all.

But are you using Acrobat to create the PDF (and are you sure it isn't Reader that you downloaded?)
If you are literally using the "save" function from Turbotax, chances are it isn't using Acrobat at all but it's own PDF generator. You would want to talk to the Turbotax folks.
If this is not the case, maybe you can give us some more specifics on exactly what steps you are taking to create the PDF.

Error when trying to save .ai file

Hi,
I created a business card in Adobe Illustrator CS2 and now I want to change my email address on the card. I did that and tried to save it but when I did this error message came up:
"The path does not exist".
I don't know why it's doing that. I want to be able to edit and save it later on if need be so how can I fix this? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
ashmic19

Thanks SkaldiArts I appreciate the help. I did what you said and created a new type layer and then input the text. I deleted the old type layer and everything saved. So thank you! I would have not known I needed to do that. That's kind of tricky.

ORA-22835: buffer too small when trying to save pdf file in LONG RAW column

Hi,
I get "ORA-22835: Buffer too small for CLOB to CHAR or BLOB to RAW conversion (real : 125695, maximum : 2000)" when i trying to save a 120k pdf file in an Oracle Long Raw column using dotnet 4.0 and Entity FrameWork.
Dim db As New OracleEntities
Try
Dim myEntity = (From e In db.TEXTE _
Where e.TEXT_ID = txtTextId.Text _
Select e).Single
With myEntity
If txtTextypeId.Text <> "" Then
.TEXTYPE_ID = txtTextypeId.Text
Else
.TEXTYPE_ID = Nothing
End If
.TEXT_NUM = txtTextNum.Text
.TEXT_NAME = txtTextName.Text
.TEXT_DATE = dtTextDate.SelectedDate
If DocAdded Then
.TEXT_DOC = Document
ElseIf DocDeleted Then
.TEXT_DOC = Nothing
End If
End With
db.SaveChanges()
Document is an array of Byte and TEXT_DOC also (mapped to a long row column).
is it possible to increase the size of the buffer ? how may i do it ?
Thx in advance.
Regards.

Using a custom UPDATE or INSERT stored procedure for LONG RAW column with
exceed-limit data may still get the following error.
"ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested".
One option is to use BLOB instead of LONG RAW in your table and regenerate your
data model from the table. Then using the default UPDATE or INSERT statement
(created by EF) should work.
The following will modify your LONG RAW column to BLOB column.
Disclaimers:
1. It's irreversible--you cannot modify BLOB back to LONG RAW.
2. I have not tried that when there are huge data in LONG RAW column.
So be careful.
alter table <your_table_name> modify <your_long_raw_type_column> blob;

PS CS4 crashes when trying to open PNG files

I am using a freshly installed CS4 on a freshly installed Mac OS 10.6.3. No extra filters, nothing.
Now: whenever I export a PNG file from Illustrator via "Save for Web" and then try to open it in PS, the app crashes (endless beachball delight).
The same happened with a GIF file from AI. Only JPEG files work. Is this a recurrent problem and, if yes, why?
When I do the same at home with CS3, everything is fine.

Meanwhile, I get a spinning beachball in any CS4 app whenever trying
to open or save files, so I suspect a network issue (I'm on a large network).
To your question: I'm trying to open a file in PS which I created in AI. This is quite common practice. Open, paste, place or whatever. It's all the same result.
I already did the basic system maintenance. I don't think trashing prefs will be of any use as the same problem now also occurs in Fireworks and AI.
Update: I localized the problem to either the network or the external Firewire drive I use for Time Machine. It's from the infamous LaCie brand and has already caused trouble with the finder.
2nd update: When the network and the drive are disconnected, all open and save problems go away *but* the one with opening PNGs in PS when they were created in AI.

I keep getting error message (cannot save as "file name" because of a program error)

I opened a pdf in photoshop and when I need to save it back as a pdf i get this error (cannot save as "file name" because of a program error). I need to save it specifically as PDF/X-1a:2001 but the only pdf options that will work are "highest quality print" and "smallest file size". None of the others work. I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a PC laptop and I tried it on my desktop and also a mac running CS 5.5 and always get the same error. I think the problem might be with the custom color settings I have but it works fine on my work computer with the same color settings. What could be going on?

Yes, it's probably related to your color settings in some way. Why you are doing it in the first place...? Since they are ISO standards there is simply no liberty in choosing arbitrary settings for PDF/X, especially the archicval flavors... So in conclusion you will have to make your color settings compliant. The crash itself is probably a bug in the PDF libraries and it may work at your office because there you may use a different version of Acrobat/ Adobe Reader and the associated PDF libraries which do not have this bug. Still, the initial issue remains: You need to work within the spec, not against it.
