Easy-Photo software will not save file!

Help! I have been using Canon Easy-Photo software for several years now, but in the last few months it has developed a problem where it will no longer save my files. When I finish and print a DVD, then SAVE, it comes back with the error "Failed to Save the File."
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times, but this does not solve the problem. I just today installed it again (after uninstalling), this time from the disc that came with my new MG7120. Same problem! I went online and downloaded what should be the latest version (4.5) and installed that one - still won't save.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OOOOOhhhhhh! The problem must have arisen around the time I updated to WIN 8.1 - not that the program has problems in 8.1, but because I finally got around to changing my normal user profile into a non-admin type profile. If I run the software as an administrator, I can save files.
Well, maybe the problem will happen to someone else and this will help them!

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
Source: folder - selected folder where native files are located (on desktop)
NO checkmarks next to any options
Destination: folder - selected folder where small files should be saved (on desktop)
NO checkmark on override action
Did not change file naming parameters
Result #1 - DID NOT SAVE FILES
Attempt #2:
     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).

CS4 on new 64bit machine will not save files, "unkown error"

I just upgraded my machine from an older 32 bit PC to a 64 bit PC running Windows 7. As part of the migration O'm having to re-install a lot of softwaare including Illsutrator. The install was succesful, Illy runs and will open all of my old AI files, but it will not save them. All I get id an "unkown error" message. New files created form scrath save ok; old files will save over or be "saved as"; if I copy the contents of an old fiel to a new page it will not save either. I have removed the AIprefs file but no change.
Any idea what the issue is?

I have had this problem as well and this is my take on it. It can open the files being that it's .ai format but it can't just save them again being that the previous save format was 32bit and now the save format is 64bit and when you ask it to save a 32bit file it wants to save it as 32bit again but illustrator can't do that from a 64bit system. The bit size does make a difference but if you go to save as instead of save it will save it and you can write over it. What your doing then is saving a new 64bit file over the old 32bit file.

Image Processor will not save files in CS5

I use image processor to run actions on a bulk group of image files, always worked fine in CS4. Now with CS5 the files have the action applied but Image Processor will not close the files.... that becomes a problem when I am working with a couple hundred images! It seems to save the files fine, into the Jpeg or Tiff folder it creates during the process... it just won't close the files and give me the error: "Sorry, I could not process the following files:"
I am sure this is a bug, since it works fine in CS4 and the process is exactly the same in CS5. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there anyway to fix this? It's a pain to go back to CS4 just to use the image processor.
Thanks!

I looked into it more and found the problem is that when the action runs Photoshop for some reason won't let the file save from the file menu (it's grayed out)... only "Save as" which obviously doesn't work in an action. Strangely, the file does actually get saved in the folder that is created by Image Processor, but since "save" is grayed out, it won't CLOSE the file. There is no reason for it to gray out "save", when I play the action one file at a time it doesn't do this, only when I use Image Processor in CS5. I really don't understand why it's doing this, I think it's just a bug that needs to get fixed. Don't have the same problem in CS4.

MS office word (2011) will not save files on the hard disk. It will save on USB drives. Help!

I have installed MS Office 2011 on our iMac and Macbook Air. The program works as expected on the Macbook Air. However, on the iMac, neither Word nor Excel will save files to the internal hard drive. Both save files to a USB memory stick. The error message I receive is:
This is not a valid file name.
Try one or more of the following:
* Chech the path to make sure it was typed correctly.
* Select a file from the list of files or folders.
I expect it is something with the file saving options, but haven't been able to sort it out.
Help please.

Found the answer with the help of Microsoft Office for Mac telephone support.....
The name of the Mac Hard drive started with "\"
Microsoft office can't cope with that.
Renamed the hard drive without the back-slash and it works fine.

Quicktime will not save file or move to another disk

I am consolidating old material to a new drive. I have quicktime complete movies created years ago in Final Cut. The movies play fine, but I get only error messages when trying to copy/move the files to the new hard drive.
The icon on the OLD drive is a blue and red FCP Quicktime, not just the BLUE Qt icon.
The files will also NOT open in FCP, asking for missing render files. Odd, because the movies play just fine and completely.
I tried export, save as, render, all options, but all block.
HELP ME GUYS.
Deborah

On the new PC, you should authorize it first.
Then when you plug the ipod in it should ask if you want to copy purchases over or erase it. Obviously you want to choose the copy option!
Here is an article with screenshots of what you will see

For the exclamation marks, those files might still be on your old PC, but itunes has just lost the path to which folder they are in. Try finding them with these steps

Magic canvas photo software will not interface with snapfish

I have a touchsmart pc 520-1047c. I have windows 7. When in the magic canvas photo program there is a button to link to snapfish. you must put your snapfish user id and password. Even though I am entering the correct information, I am receiving a message that the log in failed. I tried to report this error to HP support, but they had me remove the magic canvas software, and then try to restore it. Long story short, it cannot be reinstalled without doing a system restore. They also had me remove and restore the magic canvas photo program. These actions did not fix it. I am 100 percent sure that I am entering the correct log in info. Any ideas on this?
I aslo have a problem with the magic canvas music program. I have all my itunes purchased and converted cd's in my itunes library. The music program sees all of my albums, both converted and purchased, but won't play the purchased ones. The message is that itunes can't be found. This is a new installation of itunes 10.6.3. This problem may be caused by the newer itunes version not being compatible with the latest music program.
Both of these problems aren't deal breakers since I can post to snapfish directly within snapfish, and I can play my itunes purchased music within itunes, but I think that these softwares should be updated to fix these problems.

Hello silverjoe,
Let me start off by saying that I'm not entirely versed in the magic canvas software, but want to see if we can come to some kind of resolution.
With that being said I'm relying on this support documention in regards to using the Touchsmart photo application and uploading to Snapfish.
HP TouchSmart Desktop PCs - Using the HP TouchSmart 5.0 Software
From my understanding of reading the section where it starts talking about snapfish ( HP TouchSmart Photo ) there are other options available, Facebook and Flicr. Do those accounts work? If you create a new snapfish account (not ideal, but it at least helps us isolate the issue) does it work?
As for your music issue. So all music you have purchased in itunes doesn't get seen by the music application. Do you happen to know if these are DRM protected files? You say it may be a new installation of itunes 10.6.3, do you know if they worked on previous versions of itunes?

Bridge CS5 Photo Downloader will not rename files

I choose Custom Name + Shot Date but Photo Downloader ignores this
and transfers files as MG+4 numbers. I can't even get a sequencial number even though I choose one
Before in CS4 I used this option with success.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Dave Harman

Are you using a card reader for file transfer?
If not buy one as it provides better transfer operation than from camera.

Photo/Images will not save in address book. Please help

I am on a macbook 13 aluminum running 10.5.8 and when I try to add an image to a contact in my address book it does not work. I can select one or drag one onto the image icon and it will show the crop image box, but when I click SET, it does not work. Once set is pushed it just closes the image box and returns to the contacts information with no image on the card. HOWEVER it DOES work on my own owner contact card (either using the built in camera or dragging an image - the one with the little person next to it. Please help.
ALSO, does anyone have any suggestion on the best method to have attached images of business cards associated with the contact? Obviously once I get these images working in the first place. Thank you

I solved this problem with these directions, although not specified for my problem, moving the address book folder out of the application data worked.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1134021
After fixing the filesystem issues, which you say you’ve already done, try re-creating the Address Book files that may have become corrupt, one at a time, as follows — or restore them from a backup if you have one:
1. Quit Address Book, Mail, and any other applications that might use Address Book for something. Or just quit all applications to be on the safe side.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/. Make a backup copy of this folder, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your contacts are stored.
3. Go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Move com.apple.AddressBook.plist and com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist (if it exists) out of there (e.g. to the Desktop). Check whether the problem is fixed.
4. If Address Book keeps crashing, go to ~/Library/Caches/ and move the Address Book and com.apple.AddressBook folders to the Trash (there is no need to empty the Trash yet). Check whether the problem is fixed.
5. If Address Book keeps crashing, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and trash any ABPerson.skIndex files you may see there. Check whether the problem is fixed.
6. If Address Book keeps crashing, try again trashing both AddressBook.data and any ABPerson.skIndex files that may have been re-created, then rename AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data.
7. If Address Book keeps crashing, try moving the entire AddressBook folder out of ~/Library/Application Support/.
The above procedure may introduce synchronization issues if you use .Mac or iSync to synchronize your Address Book with other computers or devices, so be sure to back up your Address Book data now if the problem is fixed.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

I Tunes 6.0.4 will not save files to the desktop

Something very strange has occurred since I updated iTunes. I belong to several groups which post music files as an adjunct to discussions. Before, I could click "Save As" in the Safari "File" menu and the audio clip would be saved to the desktop. Now I do that and everytime without fail it only saves 12 KB of the file. I repaired permisions before & after updating, as I normally do, then did so again when this problem cropped up. Anyone have any idea what's going on ???? Hope so....
Power PC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The files were all definitely downloadable files, posted for sharing in a couple of Yahoo groups. I even had a friend post something specific for me as a sort of "control experiment." I had had no troubles until I updated, but now seem to have resolved the problem by following a procedure a friend suggested & which I believe is already part of the database here: I deleted the packages from past iTunes installations in the Receipts folder in the Library. I then ran Disk Warrior & now all is well.

Photoshop will not save file extension, how do I fix?

When saving any file, Photoshop saves only the filename without the extension- i must manually add the extension in finder- nightmare! Help Chat sucks so here I am. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but it still doesn't work- any ideas??

First, make sure you have extensions visible in the OS.
Then check Photoshop's preferences and change it back to always saving extensions.

Iphoto will not save photo in most recent folder

I have having trouble with the new iPhoto 9.3 When I import a photo, it will not go to my most recent folder. It only goes to the library section. I have called Apple support twice and have gone through the lengthy steps of dumping iPhoto files from my library, and then rebuilding everything. It takes the 4th option, rebuild data base to make it work again. However, that only lasts for one day. The next time I open iPhote, it is back to the same way. I spent an hour on the phone last night, I certainly do know how to do it now, but what is the point, when it will just happen again? Is anyone else having this problem with the new update. It is driving me crazy. I am not going to bother fixilng it again if it just lasts one day. I want a permanent fix. Help

I mean in my folder that says last 18 months--under the Recent heading. In the library section the photos are shown in both photos and events. The dates on my camera are correct. I have called Apple care and we have repaired this twice. First I have to find my library (hidden under the GO heading.) Then go to library, dump the cache and everything with iphoto in the title. Close iPhoto. Then hold option and command at the same time and click on iPhoto. It will open with a box with 4 things that can be done to rebuild or restore. The 4th one is the one that works--do not rebuild the snapshots--that takes forever!! Anyway, this works --for about 24 hours, then it reverts back. This all started with the update to 9.3. Two other problems. If I send a photo through iPhoto, and I type anything with it, the typing shows up on the photo and is almost impossible to read. Got that info back from the person I wrote to. And my photos that I put in the photo stream have disappeared, all but 3. They still are in the photo stream on my iPad and my husband's computer (not with updated iPhoto--I said do not do this.) So, I could fix this again, but what is the point? It takes forever and does not last. I think we need a software correction of some kind for iPhoto 9.3. Is anyone else having this problem?

Photos will not save after upgrade to iOS 7

Hi!
My iPhone 5 will not save the photos I take with the camera, or other apps.
After I take it and goes to the Camera Roll, there is nothing there.
This was not an issue with the iOS 6. And the settings are the same.
Everything is ok in Settings-Privacy-Photos. And in Settings-General-Privacy everything is Allowed.
Does anyone else have this problem?

You have to download the proper ipsw file again: http://www.ipswdownloader.com/
And install it on your iPhone, using iTunes.

If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if it frightens you, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
