Elements no longer saves files!

For years I have been running Elements 2 & 7. Mostly I use 2 for manipulation and 7 for printing. A few weeks ago I could no longer save files in 2. I tried to un-install 2 and then re-install it. The problem continues - I get the message "Could not complete your request because of a programing error". I use an HP Desktop and Windows XP Pro. What should I try next?

I'd try resetting the photoshop elements 2 preferences file by holding down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you double click or single click the pse 2 shortcut.
(double click if the shortcut is on the desktop or single click if the shortcut is in the start>programs list)
Keep holding the keys until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file and press yes because you do.

Safari 5.1 no longer saves file origin?

I very much appreciated the file source URL, the internet address, being saved together with downloaded files in previous versions of Safari. The URL showed up under More Info when viewing the file's Get Info window, and could be copied from there since Snow Leopard 10.6. Quite handy. This info was stored in the extended attribute "kMDItemWhereFroms" which could be viewed in Terminal with the xattr or mdls command (file path as argument). Now on latest Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with latest Safari 5.1 (6534.50), it's no longer there. I miss it! Is there a way to re-enable this feature? I saw no obvious option with another Terminal command "defaults read com.apple.Safari".

Amendement: it seems the origin is only lost when saving to the Downloads folder. Save (or drag) to anywhere else, like the Desktop, and the source URL is there! So this is a partial solution. What I'd really like is for it to work everywhere, and especially in Downloads because that is where I normally save items.

Can someone tell me why Photoshop CS5 will no longer save files a jpeg

When I flatten and save image as jpg it results in a file theat I can no longer open with any program. When I try to open it I get "it's not the right kind of document" popup. I may have downloaded some extensions that I shouldn't have - can someone help me? I tried looking for setting defaults as well but can't find that either. Thanks

We don't know anything about your system, but yes, removing potentialyl incompatible plug-ins and extensions would be a start.

Can no longer save files in Motion 2

I have been working on a project in Motion all week (2.1.2). Tonight I tried creating a new file, and I couldn't save it - no dialogue box appears at all. I opened up the file I've been working on all week, made a minor change to see if I could save that file, and I couldn't. Export is not working either. I have searched discussions to find an answer, but nothing has helped. I deleted the com.apple.motion.plist file, but that didn't work. I also tried reinstalling and am currently now on 2.1, hoping that it would help to not run the upgrade to 2.1.2, but it still won't save. I have a huge deadline coming up fast, and I don't know what to do! The only explanation I can come up with is the updates that I ran earlier today, which included the following:
Mac OS X 10.6.7
iDVD 7.1.1
Garageband 6.0.2
iWeb 3.0.3
Safari 5.0.4
iTunes 10.2.1
Digital camera raw..3.6
Java Update 4 1.0
Any suggestions??

the problem is likely related to the fact that you're running an extremely old version of Motion, and the most recent version of Mac OS. I'm surprised it'll run at all. Of the updates you listed that's the most likely culprit. See if you can revert.
On a separate note, if you are working with obsolete software (5 years is a lifetime in software terms), you have to be EXTREMELY careful about updating your working configuration in any way. There's nothing wrong working with outdated software. If it serves your needs and you don't have to upgrade (or can't spend the money), that's fine. But understand that as other programs like the OS are updated, their compatibility with older software becomes more and more unlikely.
The way to do it, is to find the configuration that works best, and then stop updating. Don't update until you HAVE to, and realize that it'll likely force you to update a lot of your programs.

Firefox will no longer save files to my secondary hard disk

I've tried a few times already to download a couple of large files (100+ megabyte) to my 2nd hard disk, what happens is that the option download box pops up, I select choose download location, select the 2nd hdd, and press save, then the download box appears and shows no activity what so ever. I've tried downloading the same files to the main drive and the download starts no problem, while saving to the 2nd drive does not work for some reason. I was able to save to my 2nd disk yesterday without any issue. But today firefox will only let me save to my main drive.
And before anyone says to take of the adblock, noscript blocks, I already did before trying to re-download the files.

You can try to clear the cache.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

Ds4 can't save files. Error message: while executing onload in_opOpen.htm

All of a sudden I'm getting this error message. I can view files and create files but can no longer save files.
If I try to save a file, I get the following message:
Full text of message: While executing onLoad in_opOpen.htm, the following Javascript error(s) occurred: In file "_opOpen": onOpen is not defined
If I click ok in the alert,
The following translators were not loaded due to errors:
ASP.html has configuration information that is invalid.
Data.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
ICERegionals.htm has configuration information that is invalid
Not sure how these were corrupted. How do I fix this problem? The resolutions I've found on line are not working.An example: delete the file called ‘WinFileCache-[random numbers].dat’.. That did not work. I'm using Windows 7 Professional.

If you've already tried clearing the cache file and personal config folder: Deleting a corrupted cache file
A good next step would be restoring preferences: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6

Can't save files back to iPhoto after editing in Photoshop Elements

Hi
I am tring to edit pictures in Photoshop Elements 2.0. Here are the Steps i am doing
1. Open iPhoto 6.0.4
2. Go to the picture in the slideshow that i am trying to edit
3. Double click the picture to open in an external editor (Photoshop Elements 2.0)
4. Make my changes in PS
5. Try to save file. Save as a JPG I am trying to replace the original file (it is in the modifiled folder)
-- here is the problem
Can not replace the file--I get the message, "you do not have the right privileges."
So I check the permissions on the file. The original jpg file is a read only file, so I change it.
However I get the same error message.
I don't understand. Any help would be greatly appriceated. This is taking all the fun out of editing my images.
Thanks for your help.

ccorbly:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By your statement I take it you've setup PSE in iPhoto's preferences as the editor of choice when you double click on a thumbnail, right? That's how it should be.
iPhoto puts the edited version of the file in a separate folder titled Modified. So you don't want to try to force save to the same location as the original file. If you opened the file in PSE as you've stated (this indicated that you've set up iPhoto's preferences to use PSE when you double click on a thumbnail or photo) all you have to do is do a Save as long as the extension has not been changed to .psd. If PSE wants to use that extension then you need to either do a Save As to the desktop and import the new .psd file
OR f
1 - flatten the image
2 - do a normal Save
3 - in the next window select jpg
4 - hit Save
5 - select Replace.
6 - select quality and the format options and hit the OK button.
If you look close you'll see that you're in the Modified folder of the Library and not the Originals folder.
Now if that's what you're doing and you still get the permissions thing, try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

Can no longer save edited photos. get messages - "Nothing was imported" "The file or folders selected to import did not contain supported file type.

Can someone help. I use Photoshop Elements 13. I can no longer save edited photos. get messages - "Nothing was imported" "The file or folders selected to import did not contain supported file type. It started this a couple of weeks ago and I had a friend come fix it just 2 days ago. It took him several hours and I lost all tags I had on over 10,000 pictures. Now it has done it again. I'm so upset. I lost a lot of stuff. I don't want to keep bothering him with this. Please Help.

How did you import the files to your computer?

Illustrator no longer opens files or saves changes w/ Mac

Since I downloaded a new Security Update (Snow Leapord 10.6.8) I can no longer open new files in Illustrator. Also when I open old files they will no longer save to PDF. Anybody else see this issue?
thanks

Which version of Illustrator are you using?

Photoshop Elements 13 (Mac) Organizer - Can't save file with version sets.

I have spent many hours now trying to get Elements Organizer to save Version Sets when I've edited a photo. I've tried more or less every little thing you can find online without any luck. But just moments ago I found that if I move the file to my desktop everything works just fine. I then tried to edit files in a few other folders (also imported to my Organizer) and found that when ever the folder was named to something with a nordic letter in it (å, ä, ö) then I couldn't save my file with version sets (option greyed out) but if I moved that same file to another folder, well then everything worked as it's suposed to.
I'm using the trial version of PSE 13 for Mac (Yosemite) and the full version is ordered and on it's way. But if this problem can't be fixed, I need to return that order and buy some other photo editing program.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Is there perhaps a solution to this?
Please, any help is much appreciated!

I'm using the English version (as more or less always - Swedish is rarely an option). The thing is that I have never encountered this problem before in any other software I've been using, and certainly not in Aperture that I've been using up until now.
I name my photo folders with a date and a few words, for ex. "2014-12-31 New Years in Stockholm" (but I normally write in Swedish). I use this method so that my folder that contains the original photos will be easy to find in even without any other software than Finder (or Windows Explorer if I connect my external drive to a Windows machine). I could change the name of all of my folders, or at least all of the folders with a name containing one or more of the letters Å, Ä or Ö to "force" PSE to work as it should, but why? This really shouldn't be a problem.
I was hoping that their was a simple option or something like that that could fix this issue, but I guess not.
If this problem lies in the software itself I will have to return it and look elsewhere (but where? Lightroom is certainly not an option if Adobe can't handle "normal" letters and Aperture is discontinued in a few months).
Thank you for your reply!

Photoshop Elements V12.1 crashes when trying to save file. Mac OS 10.6.8 on MacBookPro. App has worked before. Cannot even save a new file with a simple change.

How to bring Photoshop Elements V12.1 back to working condition. Tried shutting down MacBookPro. Starting up. Launch Elements. Open a new file. Add text. Save file. App crashes. This is repeatable with different attempts. The app is useless at this point. Any ideas?

Well, FWIW, PSE 12 isn't supposed to be compatible with 10.6, although the editor does work for most people.
Go to the editor's preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.

Photoshop Elements 12 will not let me save files edited on a usb flash drive, but will photos on the hard drive all other apts will on the flash drive

Photoshop Elements 12 will not let me save files edited on a usb flash drive, but will photos on the hard drive all other apts will on the flash drive

Thanks for the information and your help. I have never bothered before changing the format. Next time I will.
I copied the library to the external drive and then it went and said they were referenced files but I was okay about that. Now it cannot see them and will not do anything with them. I think I will buy another external drive and start again by importing all of my files again. I guess 55K will keep the mac busy this week.

Elements no longer saves files!
