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'.

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.
Bruce

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

Firefox hangs when trying to save a file, even after removing firefox and reinstalilng afresh

I recently experienced firefox hanging/freezing indefinitely when trying to save files, such as pdf files. The same pdf files open fine within the browser if I do not select "save link as...", but the problem occurs when I try to save such a file. The problem is similar regardless of the file type (e.g., .mp3, .txt). Not only did I go through the recommended solutions that mozilla suggests when file downloads hang, but I uninstalled firefox completely (removing all files with user settings), and then reinstalled firefox afresh without any plugins or add-ons, and I still have the same file save problem. It may also be worth mentioning that this problem does not occur in internet explorer or chrome. Maybe a system file that firefox uses got corrupted (?), but I don't know which one or how to repair it if that indeed is the problem.
My system is running XP, and I have McAfee AV installed (which has not been a problem in the past).

Early on I tried starting firefox in safe mode as one possible fix, and that didn't solve the problem. I just tried again right now with the fresh installation, and still no luck.
Any other ideas?

Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save PDF files

Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save some PDF files, after opening or after commenting. Applies for any of the Save options. "Watch" then "spinning beach ball" appear and application is indicated as "not responding." Mac OS Preview has no problem with the same files. Files can be displayed with Acrobat, just not saved. I would prefer to use Acrobat's commenting tools to mark up the document.

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;

When trying to save a file under Excel 2008, ver 12.3.3, with extension .xlsx or .xlx, I am told it can't be saved because it is "read only." How do I change the file from read only?

When I try to save a file using Excel 2008, ver 12.3.3, with extension either .xlsx or .xls, I get a message saying it cannot be saved because it is "read only." How do I change it from read only? (And how did it ever get to be read only?)

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'.

When trying to save a file, no file dialog appears

The last 2 weeks, often when I want to save a file --- any file, eg an image, I right-click "save image as" and then wait for a file dialog to ask where to save, then nothing, no matter how long I wait.
If I exit Firefox and restart it it may work normally for a while, i.e., the dialog appears, but soon the same problem comes back. This is of course infuriating when you have gone through some tedious procedure, typed a captcha, a password, etc, etc before a website allows you to save a file.
The other r-click options work -- I can open a file with an application, I can even use "DownThem All", but Firefox's own save dialog is unusable.
Firefox 27.01 on XP

You can check it DTA or another extension isn't causing this problem.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

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.

FF hangs when trying to save pdf files

Adobe pdf documents open fine but when I try to save a copy, FF hangs (hourglass, stops responding). Right-click and "Save link as" also hangs.
Under Tools->Options, if I select either "General" or "Applications", it hangs. All add-ons (there are only a few) are disabled, safe mode makes no difference.
Sometimes, I can right-click on FF on the taskbar and close it, but usually I have to use the task list to kill it.
IE (ugh) handles pdfs fine. I've changed the download directory, cleared the download history, cleared browsing history/private data, no change.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Can't correlate to a particular update, since I don't always open pdfs

I tried uninstalling and re-installing FF 3.6.6 and then uninstalling and replacing it with 4.0beta. The program hangs under the following conditions (that I've found so far):
Load pdf (I can no longer even view them)
Click on "Tools>Options"
Import bookmarks from an HTML file
This happens with a clean install of FF, no changes whatsoever to the default configuration.
On my home computers, FF works great, it's just here on my work machine. No coworkers have reported similar troubles with the same software. Is there a way I can figure out if another program is causing weird things to happen? Some diagnostic I can run that will indicate where FF is having trouble? Any assistance would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

How can I stop flashing screen when trying to open Google calendar?

This is just a recent problem that has come up and I have run all kinds of diagnostics, changed from IE 9 to IE 8, but I still get a fast flashing IE screen and at the top, it's like Google and IE are battling it out over which one owns the page, even though I only have IE 8 downloaded, not Chrome.
I also can't save Events on my calendar (when I could get into it) and have disabled the scripts, etc. in IE Tools. What can I do about these problems and what do they mean?

CS6 error when trying to save a file

I'm getting the following message when saving in Photoshop CS6 Extended:
"Could not save "G:\...\_0008_DSCF7826.RAF.tif" because the file is already in use or was left open by another application."
The issue NEVER occurs if Bridge CS6 is not running.
The problem occurs intermittently when saving individual files, and nearly every time I try to run a batch operation on multiple files when Bridge is running.
Since a huge part of my work involves batch processing files, I spent some time trying to narrow down the cause. I did 10 Batch processing test runs on twelve 100MB files. My batch process used the "save and close" option in the Batch dialog. I think the issue involves Bridge because:
The issue DID NOT occur (in 10 test runs Batch processing twelve 100 MB images with the "Save and close" option checked):
If the Batch action was run through the Photoshop menu with Bridge turned off.
If the Batch action was run through the Photoshop menu with Bridge running & Bridge's Performance and Handling settings for Thumbnails set to "Do Not Process Files larger Than zero MB."
The issue ALWAYS occurs:
At some point when a Batch Action involving a "Save and Close" command is run through the Bridge Menu. My Batch processing generally involves 12 files. Usually, one or two files process, save and close properly before the error message appears.
I've reset the preferences for both Photoshop and Bridge several times with no results.
Is there something I can do to fix the problem? Is this a bug?
I'm running 64-Bit Windows 7 and 64-bit Photoshop CS6 Extended.
Any solution will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for helping me narrow down the problem, Curt. I unchecked “export cache to folders” and shut off Windows 7 Search file indexing, as you suggested, unfortunately, the problem still occurred when I ran some batch actions. I’m not sure how ACR indexes RAW files, but since I’m processing TIFF files, that shouldn’t be an issue, should it, unless re-indexing occurs automatically in the background?
Also, another probably related problem I noticed is that when I attempt to batch process files through Photoshop CS6's Automate>Batch dialog, the option to process files selected in Bridge is greyed out and unavailable, even though Bridge is open and files are selected. I think this may indicate that Photoshop and Bridge are not communicating with each other, which may explain the file-saving issues some of us are experiencing—Photoshop and Bridge may be simultaneously trying to perform operations on files instead of taking turns, because each is "unaware" of what the other is doing, hence the "Could not save "G:\...\_filename.tif" error message. Since there are scripts that should enable Photoshop and Bridge to communicate with each other and other applications in the CS6 Suite (they’re found in the Bridge menu under Edit>Preferences>Startup Scripts), and since mine are enabled, my best guess is that these scripts may be inoperable, corrupted, or just buggy.

Any way to avoid 'save as' dialog/pop-up when trying to save some file using flex?

I am trying to create an image file with flex and want to save it only in�� a perticular directory ie., user should not be given any option to choose the location.Air application uses resolvePath where we can specify the path but donno how this can be achieved for a web-based application.
Is there any workaround for this?

Why does FF4 start to download an image once more which is already on screen when trying to save this image?

I look at a picture from a photo-site - size 11 MB. I decide to save this picture > right click > save image as.. The download window opens and FF downloads the picture once more which is already somewhere in FF's cache or memory.. I can see that data comes from the internet and not from a local place on my computer and the process can be rather slow, when the remote server is slow.. I find this as a waste of bandwidth.. Is it possible to avoid this behaviour?

You can look at this extension:
*Save Images: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/3404
