Emac not allowing me to save files or attach to emails......

Hi! So out of the blue my Emac has decided that it doesn't want to save files. These are files in any program. When i hit save the program crashes. It also won't let me attach files to emails. When I do that it freezes the web browser and then it crashes. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Any suggestions or ideas?
I did boot up in safe mode and clean out the cache folder and uninstalled the only I have installed recently which was a printer.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
How much free space is there on the hard drive?
If you open Disk Utility and select the boot volume on the hard drive, what does the SMART status at the bottom of the Disk Utility window say?

Photoshop CC will not allow me to save files

Photoshop CC will not allow me to save any files. It will bring up the "save as" window, but then it immediately disappears when trying to select a save location. No error messages, it just disappears. Any ideas? Running it on a Mac OS X Mavericks. Have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, created a new profile which worked for a few saves, but started doing it on the new profile as well.

Curt Y, you are a mad genius. That seems to fix the problem. You've saved me a lot of time and trouble, thank you sir!

I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but Forms Central will not allow me to save the file a second time as an excel file. I am informed that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another application. What is the problem, and how do I solve the problem. Thank you. Jeff

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Hello, Indesign 6 will not allow me to save and close my file

Try exporting to .idml. If that works, openthe .idml and save as a new .indd.
If it doesn't work, force quit ID and then restart. Auto-recovery should kick in and reopen the file at about the last state, then try again.

"save as" pop up box does not allow me to save the document.

Hello ,
"save as" pop up box does not allow me to save the document. Shows a blank screen. Any idea what would cause this? I just purchased acrobat pro dc.
Thanks!

Found this solution:
The default "Save As" dialog in Acrobat DC is different than the dialog that you've had in earlier releases of Acrobat, it also allows you to save to the cloud and previous locations you've saved files to. It is possible that when Acrobat tries to connect to "the cloud", it runs into problems. You may want to try to turn this feature off to see if that brings your save as dialog back: Open up Acrobat's preferences, then go to the "General" category and deselect "Show online storage when saving files":

Not enough memory to save file.

I am getting this message when I try and export an AI file as .psd file. Illustrator is the only app open on a new 24" iMac running 10.5.4. The illustrator file itself is only about 5 mb. Yet . . .I get the message "Not enough memory to save file." Any thoughts, gang?

I know this is an old thread, but anyone trying to export large files out of Illustrator CS5 (maybe even CS6 and CC) still face this "not enough memory" challenge.
To summarize the above comments, this is what worked for me...
1. Using Windows 7 or Windows 8, and Illustrator CS5
2. Close Illustrator (if open)
3. Right click the Illustrator application > Properties > Compatibility (tab)
4. "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" > Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
5. "Run this program as an administrator" (optional, but recommended)
6. Apply (or "OK")
7. Open Illustrator > Open your Illustrator file
8. File > Export > (DO NOT CLICK SAVE YET...)
9. (File Save Dialog Box) > At the bottom of the dialog box, tick to select "Use Artboards" > Range "1"
10. (name your file) > "Save"
11. (Photoshop Export Options) > Select color mode > Select Resolution > Select "Flat Image" > Select "Anti-Alias
12. Click "OK"
Doing everything above allowed me to save a very large Illustrator file as a 300ppi RGB Photoshop file and avoid the "Not enough memory..." problem.
I hope this helps, but as usual: your mileage may vary... Shalom!

InDesign will not allow me to save my work. Why is this? Time sensitive project.

I downloaded the free trial for InDesign, and have been using it to work on an important project. I have had the free trial for a little while, but I am not exactly sure how long. I opened it about an hour ago, and it still offered the "continue trial" option, so I clicked it, but now it will not allow me to save or export my file to PDF. I am near completion on the project. It is due today, but if I am not able to save the file, I will not be able to submit the assignment. Is my inability to save the file a result of the trial running out mid-session? If so, what can I do to recover the work I have done?

Try a Save As
Create another document and move pages from the problem document to the new - attempt to save
Create a simple, one word document and try to Save or Export
I cannot answer to how the trials work.
I expect you have an acount - (most) current releases are subscription based - check your account status
Check the date stamps in your Program Folders pertinant to InDesign
Find the first InDesign file you made, what is the date history?

Exporting from Illustrator to Photoshop: Not Enough Memory To Save File

Exporting from Illustrator to Photoshop: Not Enough Memory To Save File
I have plenty of memory (6 GB) and the files I try to export are not very big (some less than 5 MB). Yet, I keep getting the above message: Not Enough Memory To Save File
Any suggestions?
Many thanks!

Up-thread, John Joslin mentioned that "memory" is more than RAM. It is RAM, Virtual Memory, Scratch Disk, and is also governed by the allocations for your Adobe programs (in this case).
The first thing that I would explore is the Windows Virtual Memory (Page File) settings. This ARTICLE might give you some tips.
Also, see this ARTICLE on setting up a computer for an editing session. It's geared more towards doing video editing, but applies to PS work too.
Then, go to Edit>Preferences in both PS and AI, and check the allocation of your memory. Too often, people run that up, and then they starve the OS, or any other programs.
Good luck,
Hunt

"Program Error" in PS/CS6 does not allow me to save in any format.

"Program Error" in PS/CS6 does not allow me to save in any format. I can't save as psd, jpg, tiff, large document format, etc. My only option is to quit without saving an hour's work. This has happened a dozen times sporadically.

Photoshop will not allow me to save to web any more?

photoshop will not allow me to save to web any more?

I uninstalled Photoshop CC along with the preferences.
I restarted, and logged back into Creative Cloud
where i reinstalled Photoshop CC.
Began immediately working in the program
and of course testing the save for web feature along with the other save options.
Seems that all is well. I hope this works for you as it did me.

Hey! I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes. I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted. What do I do?

Hey! I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes. I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted. What do i do?!

The solution is fairly easy IF the items that you are concerned about are all items that have been obtained from the iTunes Store AND they were all purchased using the same Apple ID. First, with the iPad disconnected from the computer, fire up iTunes. Look to the right side top and confirm that that Apple ID is displayed. If it is not, go to "Account" and log into that ID. Then, connect the iPad. Say "yes" to the "Transfer Purchases" choice. Everything on the iPad will be transferred to the computer's iTunes library.
If anything goes wrong, you can download all purchased items again with no charge (except movies) provided that you use the same Apple ID.
If you have been using multiple Apple IDs, it's a bit more complicated. Post back and we'll go from there.

Some Items not allowing me to save to a MP

I have noticed that a couple of things are not allowing me to save them to a custom MP before creating. The Change Category list items and the Incident Tier Queue list items. My question is, will these be overwritten when I upgrade? Is
there a workaround for this? Is this normal?

The reason you are being prompted for a custom MP is that the out of the box MP (that would be upgraded when the system is upgraded) is sealed to prevent customization that would be overwritten when the system is upgraded.
The Change Category and Incident Category are stored in Unleased MPs (the Configuration MPs) these MPs are provided, but are generally not upgraded by a version upgrade.
it's always a good idea to export all of your unsealed MPs prior to an upgrade, just in case.
