Having problems saving files in CS2

I'm learning the program: Classroom in a book from InDesign CS2. In the beginning when the file was small I was having no problem saving the doc. But after The doc got bigger and I had done many things to it, I would save the doc, the save word in file was gray as it is suppose to be, then I would close the file. When I reopened the doc all my work would be gone. I have recreated this 3 times now and the same thing keeps happening, NO SAVED FILE. What am I doing wrong??? Thank you advance for your help, Sherrine

How are you opening the file (double-clicking an icon, File > Open,
File > Open Recent, etc.)? Are you saving/opening over a network? It
sounds to me like you may be opening the wrong file. Try doing some work
on the file, and then Save As to a unique name. Then use File > Open
Recent to open the file and see if your changes are there.

  • Having problems saving files

    Hi all, been having a problem with Motion. I am currently running version 2.0.1, and the application will not let me save any files at all. I am stumped, could someone give me some ideas that I might not have though of yet.
    Thanks.

    If its the tutorials you're doing and you have copied the folders over from the DVDROM, they still keep a read only setting. You need to change that before you'll be able to save to them...

  • Problem Saving Files CS5

    After years of no problems I am suddenly having a problem saving files.  This started with CS4 a few months ago, and has continued with CS5.
    When I attempt to Save As... I get an error message:
         Could not save as "{location & filename}" because the file is already in use or was left open by another application.
    The only place the file could be considered "in use" or "left open" would be due to Bridge.
    I get this error message whether saving as jpg, psd or any other file type.  If I retry saving the file then it will usually save properly after several attempts.  But if I close Bridge then it will save the first time every time.  I get the same error whether saving as the original file name or with a new name.
    I have been using Bridge to preview and select the images I want to edit for a very long time.  But this problem didn't start showing up until a short time ago, so I wonder about a problem introduced with an update??    Those who use Bridge know that it remains running in the background while the image is processed through Camera RAW and PS.  There has never been a reason to close Bridge when working in PS and it is not very convenient to do so just to save a file.
    If anyone has a solution to this I would like to hear about it.
    Thanks,

    Hi Jimcarke,
    My problem is very similar. Just Upgraded to CS5 from CS4.
    Graphic files, no problem.  I can save 80Mb and 30 layered mixed graphic files, even after editing.
    No JPEG's in the stack though. Perhaps I'll have a look at that!
    With simple JPEG's at 1.9mb, after editing, then as soon as I enter 'Save As,' Bingo the great blank screen'
    Problem seems worse if I get as far as rotating the image, then everything disappears instantly.
    Customer services have suggested all the usual remedies and now I can't open a file or edit anything
    I'm back to the insufficient RAM issue.
    I've just 'given up' and back to CS4 again and will try to get some work done for the morning.
    All good fun and an interesting way to spend a very sunny Sunday afternoon. (GB)
    Regards
    John

  • I am having problems attaching files to my email using the latest Firefox 13.0.1, Comcast is my internet provider, but I did not have problem with Safari.

    Why am I having problems attaching files to my email using Firefox 13.0.1.?
    I am using a MAC, OS 10.6.8, and have Comcast as my internet provider. I noticed after I upgraded to Firefox 13.0.1 that I am having problems attaching files to my email. I do not experience the same problem with Safari, but I prefer to use Firefox, as all of my bookmarks and passwords are saved there. I just like the way Firefox works better than Safari.
    I am a free-lance graphic designer and rely on my internet connection to my customers. I need this resolved ASAP!

    Could you start by resetting the zoom level on the page? To do that, you can either:
    * Press Ctrl+0 (that's a zero) on the keyboard
    * View menu > Zoom > Reset
    You also can use zoom to increase/decrease the size from there. This article describes the various mouse, keyboard, and menu methods: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].
    Any luck?

    right I missed that part. Looks like two problems then.

  • I am having problems saving certain images

    I am having problems saving certain images. For example, on Ebay while viewing an auction item, when you click on the image to view the larger picture it opens in a new window. With Internet Explorer, you can "right-click" and "save picture as". With Firefox 3.6.9 the "save picture as" option is not availabale. Other options such as save "save page as" are available, but not "save as," or "save picture as." Any ideas? Thanks

    I have found a solution to the problem. Apparently there is an addon to fix this. Had no idea a specific google search for "trouble saving images on ebay" would turn up anything.

  • Problems saving Files on Lion-Server

    My colleagues frequently report problems saving files stored on our Lion-Server machine. This usually applies to Photoshop CS6 documents but has been reported fpr MS Word .docx-Files as well. Usually the problem can be circumvented by savin the files in question  on the local machine and later copy them back to the server.
    Unfortunately the errors happen at random times where I usually have no access to either the cient computer or the server so I have no clue of wht is going wrong.
    The Server-Logs, especially the AppleFileServer Logs don't show any information related to anx client side error message.
    The only thing I see are entries in /var/log/system.log reading something like
    "Jul  9 15:36:14 servername AppleFileServer[1368]: MDSChannelPeerCreate: (os/kern) invalid argument"
    I'm not sure, if these messages are related to the failure of saving files, but they are the only clue I have so far.
    Has anyone experienced similar problems or better has a solution to avoid thes errors entirely?

  • Having problem opening files with gradients in CS2

    When I try to open an illustrator 9 file from CS2, I get "An unknown error has occurred." message. I believe this may be a CS2 problem because when I checked further, I discovered that only AI 9 files where the gradient feature was used were affected. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Sjmitc, I followed Barbara's instructions about only about 24 hours ago and since then my files have been opening perfectly.  I tried it again before replying to you and they are still opening fine.
    I did have to go through my files a couple of times to find all the Elements preferences, but the solution is working fine so far.  I will let you know if I have any further problems.  It is maddening when it happens, so I hope you can fix yours.
    Best of Luck

    Henwen, Is this solution still working for you? I tried this same solution on mine a few days ago and had no luck. However, it actually let me open files this afternoon then when I went back in later today, it was doing the disappearing act again.

  • Problem saving files to PDF in Illustrator CS4 [Mac]

    Hi all,
    I'm having a problem with saving files as PDF's in illustrator CS4 - something I've happily done for years until about a week ago.
    It seems to be something to do with the "Save As" command. When I select Save As and then select PDF, the PDF saves as a copy of the current file rather than it saving as a file itself. It also doesn't rename itself properly. Saving a file in the .ai format seems unaffected.
    The multiple page function also seems to be affected - I can create multiple pages no problem, but upon saving the PDF reads as a single page PDF in both Acrobat and Preview. Reopening the same file in Illustrator reveals that the extra pages are there, but not showing in the PDF.
    Any thoughts? I've trashed preferences and repaired permissions, but no joy....
    Any help greatly appreciated

  • Problems saving files in Snow Leopard

    I've just upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (I know I'm a dinosaur...) and am now having major problems saving Appleworks files. 
    When I'm doing corrections, I sometimes need to save a file over 10 times and my helpful "Do you want to replace this file?" box has gone and instead it's saving as a new file and adding another 'full stop' at the end of the file name.  It's driving me nuts!
    Is there any way to get back to just over-writing the file?
    Any help gratefully received...
    Thanks
    Take care
    Marianne

    This is turning out to be really crazy. I haven't added any third party application at all.
    Last night I tried Roger's 'command-S' and it worked on a different document I opened.  I tried the same document, changed it, 'Saved As' and it asked me if I wanted to over-write the file. 
    I then opened the original document I was having trouble with, hit 'Save As' and the same thing happened; it just made multiple copies of the file.  It seems to be a problem with this particular client and all his files; unfortunately, he's the client I do the most work for.
    Now I don't know why it's happening on some documents and not on others.
    Any further ideas?  Can I do something to this client's files, re-save them or whatever, so I don't have this problem?
    Thanks again...

  • Are there any problems saving files in Pages for iPad?

    I have a new iPad, and I need to chose a wordprocessing App. Friends have advised me that there may be a difficulty saving files from Pages. If so then is there a recommendation for a different wordprocessing App ?

    I use Pages every day on my iPad. I have had great success with it.
    I use it with iCloud, and I use it on my Mac. I have created documents on the Mac, saved them to iCloud, opened them on the iPad, edited them there, saved that back to iCloud, opened them in the IOS Beta in iCloud.com, downloaded them to my Mac at work, and so on and so on...
    I have used Pages every way that you can possibly use it with iCloud, iCloud.com, and locally on my Macs. No problems whatsoever.
    Pages documents are saved automatically on the iPad as are all documents in all apps - at least as afar as I know. You do not have to actually save them on your own... no Save As... no Save commands at all in tha app. They are saved automatically with the last set of edits that you make in place.

  • Having problems saving patches in  ultra beat ..plus samples not been moved

    My problem with ultra beat..i might save a patch in ultra beat..re-open a next track arrangement..to find the sample are missing and need reloading...so my new problem is...i can make temples from old track with the ultra beat sounds patches working..But remains missing on new project if not a template start... so i cant really build a drum bank of sound in ultra beat...really wired Bug....But a real pain...Ex24 ok ...But thats played out for Drums now....Plus i found saving a project with ultra beat sample included.would keep working on that project.but then missing on others..which gave me no option but to make templete from the working tracks...have anyone els experiance or have knowledge on this problem.... 

    I opened PSE Preferences for Saving Files, and checked off append files with extensions "always" and "OK", but when I go back to the same Preference Panel, it has reverted to Never, which is the default position. I am wondering if this is the source of my problems.
    Yes. It is a known bug. Your options are to trash the prefs again and never, never, never open the Saving Files preferences pane again (just going there causes this), or to add the file extension in manually when saving. (The default position is Always, but merely opening the saving files preference sets it to Never.)

  • Significant problem saving files in Photoshop CS2

    I am running Photoshop CS2, with Windows Vista Home Edition.
    My problem is a new one, as Ive been running the program the exact same way since I bought it several years ago. Two weeks ago I bought an Intuos 3 tablet, and installed the software that came with it (including Corel Painter Essentials), and updated the drivers for Vista. After doing so, the appearance of my save menu changed in photoshop, but everything still ran properly.
    Yesterday when I tried to save a file that I had opened and modified (a photoshop file, not .jpg), Photoshop stopped responding. I did not receive any error message, the program simply froze, and refused to respond. I gave it more than five minutes before shutting it down. This has happened three consecutive times. I can save a new file, (using the save as function), but anytime I attempt to merely save (either using control-s, or by selecting save from the file menu) Photoshop stops responding.
    I have not edited any preferences or settings.
    I have lost a great deal of time and work over this, and am beyond frustrated. Any help would be very truly appreciated!

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, unfortunately I'm still experiencing the same problem.
    There was nothing off screen, escape did not help. I don't usually get a box when all I'm doing is saving (unlike using 'save as'). I haven't had any messages from Windows Error Reporting, and don't see anything in the System Event Log, but don't know exactly what I'm looking for as I don't access it regularly.
    I've ordered the CS4 upgrade. Should arrive this week.
    My new question is, should I uninstall my current configuration, install Photoshop Elements 6.0 (which came with my tablet), and upgrade that? Or should I leave it as is, and install the upgrade on my current configuration?
    Will CS4 fix my problem? Or will the problem merely transfer onto it?
    Any help greatly appreciated!
