File Saving Issue

All yesterday I noticed an issue that has never occurred before. Whenever I save, save as or export, I get a pop-up that says "Replace Files" and it lists the files in the directory. Then if I select replace, it replaces the file, but also saves another one with a -01 after the filename. (Example: filename.eps and filename-01.eps) Normally, I hit ctrl+s and it just saves. Now it does this replace file thing every time. Additionally, it does the same thing when I save as PDF, or export to JPEG. Is this something that I can turn off? I couldn't find it in preferences or anything. I've attached a pic of the message.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Which version of Illustrator are you using? Seems like I remember something like this, but it was back in version 8-10 or so. It's been a long time, so I can't remember what the cause/solution was.
Does it occur with all files, or just the one you are currently working on? Try creating a brand new doc, save it, close it, then re-open and try to make revisions and re-save. Did it happen again?
Could possibly be a file permission problem, but I don't think so since you were able to save to the original file along with the extra one with the "-01".

  • Internet file saving issues

    I used to be able to save files from the internet to my desktop, but am suddenly unable to do so. I have used both Safari and Firefox browsers running on Roadrunner. When I try to save email messages (usually AOL) no messages are actually saved, just a link to AOL. Sometimes web pages save, but usually not, and there does not seem to be a pattern. Even when I select to save "web complete" settings, it fails to save the accompanying folder with the content info. AOL tech say its an Apple issue. Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas? This is a feature I have relied on over the years to let me read info and mail 'offline' without having to venture back into cyberspace.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Corrupt file/saving issues

    Keynote suddenly wants to save every time I make a change. It is paralyzing, saving every ten seconds. This only happens with one file, others are normal, so it must be corrupt. Tried pasting all the slides  into a new file. Nothing. How does one uncorrupt a file?
    Mahalo nui loa—that’s our Hawaiian thank you for helping!

    After fussing for hours, I discovered it was the presence of a QuickTime movie I had placed on one slide that was causing my grief. I removed the movie, edited the other slides without the hassle of constant saving, and then put the movie back in place when I was done.
    Hope this helps others facing this saving glitch.

  • IDCS4 and Mac Servers - File Saving issues

    seems intermittent but.... we have a Mac G5 running Server 10.5.5 where we store all of our customer artwork/files. We use iMacs as workstations (up-to-date on system as well) and access our files with them. Opening a file works fine but when I hit CMD-S to save it asks me where to save instead of just saving the file.
    though in some testing today it seems fine. anybody else seen this?

  • Excel file saving issue

    I have an excel file on my OSX Server. When I opening from the server window, I can modify the file and save it. If I take that file and make an alias on my dock, I can open it, modify it but O have to save it with a different filename. I have also noticed that when I open it via the alias it add a number to the end of the filename in the document header (filename1.xlsx). If I close it and open it again it increases the number by one (filename2.xlsx) and so on. I have to delete the old file to save the new file in it's place on the server.  This is a relatively new problem since updating to maverick.

    Need a little help with an excel issue:
    One of my end users has a program that exports a file that she opens with excel and then saves it as filename.trn - She normally was able to save it with quotations around it as "filename.trn" and it would force it with this TRN file extension but the other day this stopped working.  Now when she saves it as "filename.trn" it actually ends up being filename.trn.xlsx.  I was able to log in with a different domain account on her computer and do this task with no problem so I'm kinda lost here.  Anyone have an idea why this started behaving this way and how to fix it?

  • Email image/file saving issue

    Hi
    My iPad has just been up dated to iOS 8.1.1
    I cant find anyone else online who seems to be having the same issue so lets see.
    I have attachments/files/images in emails that I want to save to the ipad. The old style that still just show the file work fine but the previewed images I am having issues with.
    I am having trouble with a PDF image of a seating chart, the new iOS is showing a preview of the image at the bottom of the email (as a pose to where you use to click the file and then it would preview and you could save from there).
    Now when I press it the little box should pop up with the options i.e. save, print, open with documents etc but the box is not there. Now I can tell the box is active because I am unable to press anything within the email app such as inbox delete nothing works so I know that the box should be showing. Sometimes the mail app will crash, if I close it and reopen it normally sometimes the little box flashes up then disappears within a second.
    Please tell me someone has found a solution to this problem as this is really going to screw up my work!
    Also please don't tell me to visit my 'local' apple store as its hours away and you have to book an appointment like a week in advance, so that's not going to happen.
    Any helpful info would be great appreciated

    I am aware of how to open it in documents or save it. The problem is the Open with box is not showing up since the 8.1.1 update, it's obviously there because I can't press anything on the screen and sometimes if I press the home button and go back onto mail it shows for a millisecond and disappears

  • File saving issues in CS6

  • Illustrator CS file saving issues

    Since migrating to Vista from XP, my Illustrator CS will not allow me to save documents.  Every time I try to save, an error message comes up reading "This is a read only file or it is open in another program", which it is not.  I must use a save-as every time I save which creates many versions.  I also cannot delete these files (same error message).  Has this happened to anyone else?  Are there any fixes?

    Turn off UAC and promote yourself to administrative priviliges or adjust your group policies accordingly. Legacy software is not aware of Vista's security stuff and will not correctly be able to request the respective file handling commands, hence existing files cannot be modified. To salvage you files already in place, log in as admin, select them, right-click --> Properties --> Security --> Advanced --> Take ownership. You should then be able to at least manipulate them as admin.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 file saving proterties

    I am currently using Photoshop Elements 11 trail version to decide if I like it enough to upgrade.
    Yesterday, while saving my files - .jpg, .png, psd - etc - when I'd go to access the file to upload, it wouldn't recognize the file.
    Then when I went back into PSE 11 to open the file, it wouldn't recognize the file format, no matter what
    I have went ahead & uninstalled the program, then restarted my computer, reinstalled & it's doing the same thing.
    If this is a known issue, I certainly have no desire to upgrade. I use PSE 8 previously with zero problems.
    Please, if anyone can answer why this is happening, I'd really appreciate it.
    As for PSE 11 - I do feel, aside from this file saving issue, Adobe got so many things right - I love how PSE 11 has been changed, it's much easier to use, but this file issue, I don't have time for it when my clients are expecting turn around times from me.
    Thanks much!
    Tori

    Thank you for all your responses.
    First let me start off with, I am not new to saving files. I've been designing & saving files for over 10+ yrs. I've never ran into this problem with any program until using PSE 11. All my files were saving perfectly fine. This problem just started yesterday with PSE 11 for me. That's why I uninstalled, restarted & reinstalled with a restart after the install.
    When I go to save a file, these are my steps
    1. File
    2. Save as
    3. Name of the file (no characters - only using letters, maybe letters & numbers in combination together)
    4. I select what format I wish to save it in.
    5. Click save
    When I did this yesterday, my files were appearing to save, but actually, they were not saving no matter what format I was trying to save that as.
    How I found out this was happeneing - I went to upload a file to the web - I was then told the file was not a proper file format. I tried various things such as saving as a png, jpeg, tiff, gif - not of which were working. That's when I uninstalled PSE 11 & as said above, reinstalled, etc.
    Screen shot below shows what the icons ended up being - problem right there!
    What message I get when I try to open the file
    Message I get when I try to upload the file to the web
    This is WHY I feel this is a problem with the particular PSE 11 I'm using (downloaded directly from Adobe's site) It's a trial vertson. And I always try to try programs before I invest in them, no matter if they're $20 or $500
    I hope all this will help thos of you trying to answer this mystrey question for me. As I mentioned, I've never had this happen before.
    Today - it seems to be saving just fine..... and I haven't changed how I save files at all. If this is a known issue with PSE 11, I just wish to know so I don't waste my money on it. I love all the changes Adobe has made to PSE 11, but if it's full of bugs - I'd rather pass is all.
    Thanks so much once again!

  • Issues while access Excel file saved on a domain.

    Original title: Locked File Issue.
    Hi Guys,
    I am wondering if you can help.
    I have a client using a Windows 7 x64 SP1 workstation who accessed files from an SBS 2011 Box [domain]
    When more than 1 user accesses a document or SS it locks as expected but displays a user who does not exist or is not using the file, it happens with all files. and funnily display the correct user locking the file in file and share management!
    The first thing I did was to check that each user was registered in Office as themselves and they were, the 2nd was to check the properties of the file paying attention to the author and this was also correct and showing a domain based user as the
    author, I tried removing the user properties from the file and still the issue exists.
    Does anybody have the answer!?
    Cheers,
    Kyle!

    A similar issue discussed at the following article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2012/05/14/the-definitive-locked-file-post.aspx
    In cases where the wrong user name is displayed in the file lock dialog
    Sometimes where it says 'another user' it has the name of someone that didn't open the file or it has no name at all. Just a big ' ' where a name ought to be. Fear not, there is a fix for this problem. The flavor depends on whether you have Excel 2010
    or Excel 2007. The below KB Articles contain hotfixes that address several issues, not just the file locked issue. But in the dialog of the article you will see this as one of the problem descriptions:

  • Difficult to open files saved in the MAC PC when working on the network.

    Working on a network that has Mac and PC sharing and using the same file, but yesterday the illustrator went to the windows to open files saved in the MAC network. If I save the file on the hard drive it opens, but if you are not on the network. But if you open the same file with Photoshop does not show any error, even though network. I'm from Brazil and do not speak English, I needed the help of Google translator.
    release:
    CS3 on PC
    CS4 on Mac.

    This is a known issue. Illustrator is not good at using network shares. I recommend you simply save and load all files locally and then copy them to your network locations afterwards, when needed.

  • PS CS3, Camera Raw 4.6 Update and Nikon D810 NEF File Reading Issue

      Currently Have Photoshop CS3 & Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9.
    According to Adobe, Camera Raw 4.6 supports Nikon D810 NEF files.  I have downloaded Camera Raw 4.6 Update. When
    I try to open Nikon D810 NEF files, I get Photoshop CS3  error that says
    "cannot complete request your because it is not the right kind of
    document. These NEF files wont open in Adobe Bridge at all.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hey,
    Before I purchased, let me get your thoughts on another option that just occurred to me which involves:
    1)Editing my D810 NEF files in LR 5.6, which I have, then exporting/saving the edited files as JPEGs.
    2) Doing any additional editing, as necessary (i.e. that might require layering or selections..etc) , with the JPEGs  with Bridge or PS CS3. 
    This method wont involve any additional software purchase now.. right?    Am I missing anything.   here?    Since my final output to my customers are JPEGs any way, wont this work?   Will I be at any disadvantage.   Am I missing anything.   here?

  • Can't open iWork files saved to iCloud

    I've updated my MBP to Mtn Lion and subsequently my iWork to latest versions. However when I attempt to open any files stored on iCloud via the Open dialog window, it states "The document “XXXX.numbers” could not be opened."; does not matter if it's Numbers, Pages or Keynote.
    I can move files saved on my MBP to iCloud and the files are stored properly. I can then open the files w/ my iPad or iPhone versions of iWork apps, no problem. I can even download from iCloud the saved files back to my MacBook Pro and the files open properly. I just can't open files from iCloud.
    Is this not a feature (yet) of iCloud to open directly from the iWork program files stored on iCloud; meaning, I need to download it back to my computer first before working w/ the file?

    Yes, I saw that earlier but it seems to be a temporary fix. I had the same issue return 2 weeks ago, then again yesterday. Each time, I've tried this solution which works but only to see it return at some time in the near future.
    Coincidently, I have a similar issue occur on my iPhone 4S w/ iOS 6. There, my keyboard shortcuts won't work in forms unless I tick off Data and Documents iCloud setting, power down the phone, then turn it back on. But like this, it only seems to work for a temporary time and the problem resurfaces in a few days.

  • Help. Photoshop CC14 on Mac 5k (2014) running Yosemite 10.10.1. Photoshop stops responding when I'm opening files, saving files or creating new ones. Is anyone suffering the same problem? Does anyone have an answer?

    Help. Photoshop CC14 on Mac 5k (2014) running Yosemite 10.10.1. Photoshop stops responding when I'm opening files, saving files or creating new ones. Is anyone suffering the same problem? Does anyone have an answer?

    First, go install the MacOS 10.10 updates - you should be on 10.10.2.
    I haven't heard of Photoshop not responding during opens and saves.  Does it stop responding while the open/save dialogs are visible, or while Photoshop is actually reading or writing files?
    10.10.1 did fix a crash in the open/save dialogs, but 10.10.2 still has some odd issues (mostly program errors coming from the OS code) in the open/save dialogs.

  • Files saved to Creative Cloud via iPhone, yet when I log in via desktop, it says no files are saved?

    I have searched, but not having any joy. I have a number of files saved to my cloud account, yet when I log in via the web to my account, it says there are no files saved? I'm also having no luck turning on file sync. clicking on the button appears to do nothing. Having  to email files to myself rather defeats the purpose of the cloud.
    TIA

    Hi,
    to resolve the issue of File Sync not turning on, please try the steps below.  Hopefully this will see your files sync down to the desktop.
    MAC
    1. Quit the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    2. In Terminal, copy and paste this command:
    rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CoreSync/options.tix
    3. Launch the Creative Cloud desktop application and start syncing.
    WINDOWS
    1. Quit the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    2. Open the Start menu, and type 'cmd' in the search box, then enter to start a command prompt.
    3. Copy and paste this command at the command prompt:
    del %APPDATA%\Adobe\CoreSync\options.tix
    4. Launch the Creative Cloud desktop application and start syncing.
