HELP!! Captivate won't save

Hi,
I've been working on a captivate project for 4.5 hours today
and saving (at least I thought I was saving) all morning. I've been
working locally and went to "Save As" to put the folder back on the
network. Before closing captivate I checked the file on the network
and noticed that it had yesterday's date still. I then checked the
file on my local machine and it was 8:57 AM (when I first saved the
file this AM). I tried Save As and giving the file a new name. The
title bar changes to the new name, but the file is not actually
written out. (E.G. save "C:\Temp\CaptivateProj1.cp" as
"C:\Temp\CaptivateProj1BAK.cp - the CaptivateProjBAK.cp does not
actually write to the disk - only C:\Temp\CaptivateProj1.cp is
there, and that file doesn't update whe I click save)
When I try to close Captivate it asks if I want to save. I
click Yes, but the file doesn't actually save.
Captivate knows the file has changed, it knows if I use Save
As (The title bar changes) but it WON'T SAVE.
Any ideas on what is causing this? A workaround? At the
least, a way to export my work (Tried to FLA but Cap needs to save
first.)
Thanks for any help!

Hi Steven and welcome to our community
I would suggest you avoid mixing Captivate and the network
altogether. If you need to store something on the LAN, save it
locally and manually copy the saved file to the LAN location.
Captivate is known to have all sorts of issues when working with
files on a network.
I can't help but to notice you mention saving to to a folder
with the name TEMP in it. If this is truly the location, have you
tried a different local location? Perhaps C:\Projects or some such?
I'm wondering if TEMP in the path would possibly confuse Captivate.
I suppose if worse comes to worst, you could try opening a
second instance of Captivate and creating a blank project with the
same dimensions. Then copy the slides from the seemingly errant
project to the new one. Then try saving.
Hope you get it sorted... Rick

Help, imovie won't save clips

Hi,
I'm new to imovie, but it doesn't seem to want to save any clips I import into a project. I save the project, go to open it and the clips are in the trash! It won't save anything on the timeline either.... Also if I edit a clip, save, then close and re-open the clip is unedited and in the trash.
Is there a way to fix this? I need to close imovie at some point and come back to a project at a later date, I can't keep re-editing everything!
Help & thanks in advance.

I'm having this same problem with iMovie 6.0.3. It's happening on all eight eMacs (10.4.11) in my computer lab, so it's not an isolated incidence. I have the student import DV clips from a DVD. They work on them - trimming, renaming, putting in the time line - and then save the project to the hard drive. When they come back to work on it the next day, they get this message: error message. All the work they've done is undone, and the clips are all in trash. It will let me move them out, but if I save, exit and reopen, they're all back in the trash. HELP!
I deleted the preferences, but it still doesn't work. I did a search for iMovie, and deleted any thing that had been edited in the last few days, figuring something may have gotten corrupted, but this is happening on eight systems? What are the chances of eight systems all becoming corrupt at the same time?! Could this be an issue with a recent software update?
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

Please help. iTunes Won't Save My Album Artwork

OK, here’s a basic question that will probable be easy to answer. I have iTunes 8 on a MAC 10.4.11 and it won’t save my album artwork. I have a play list of 23 songs and for some reason track 21 and 22 keep rejecting the artwork I drag and drop. I have tried adding the image as both a JPG and PNG in various sizes and resolutions.

Patience! You just posted the original 30 minutes before your follow up. Give people time to find your post. Anyway...
All you did is changed the preference so that any NEW stuff you import will look up artwork. For any albums already in your library, select all the songs from the album, right click, and pick Get Album Artwork.

Please HElp! Won't save changes in Imovie

I am currently working on an iMovie. When I preview the finished movie in iMovie it appears as if everything I have done is correct. However, when I burn it through iDVD there are errors. Errors that occur: music and voices playing on the next pictures and gaps in music. I have tried sharing the movie as a Quick time file and then burning in iDVD and I have tried sharing to iDVD. Like I said when I go back to the orginal version in iMovie none of these errors exist. Please anyone experience these types of issues?

Help Please! my JPG files suddenly won't save paths

I'm using CS5 on a mac. I've always been able to save JPG files with clipping paths intact. Suddenly today the paths won't save. I do a 'save as' and the path is there. When I close the file and open it up again, the path (not work path, but a saved path) is gone. No path in the path panel list! I am guessing I must have accidentally changed a setting?? Not sure what else it could be short of a software bug. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

That's a bit strange. I am not aware of a setting that would cause the path not to be saved.
The two circumstances to investigate are: i) was the path not saved and ii) are you not seeing it for some reason. The only way I am aware of to not save the path is to save the file as a jpg via Save For Web & Devices.
If the file was parsed by some other viewer & saved after it left photoshop then you could loose the path, though this is not common. Also, if you happen to open the jpg via camera raw it would also not be parsed to include the path.
Paulo
P.S. Perhaps you could post a sample jpg file that you believe should have a path that you cannot see.

Photos won't save to camera roll

Since I installed iOS7, all the pictures I take with the camera won't save to camera roll. I see them in the lower corner of the camera but when I click on it, they are not in the camera roll. In the camera roll, I just have a bunch of pictures that I deleted months (or years!) ago. I uninstalled my profile and reinstalled it two or three times with always the same result.
All the settings are ok.
I installed the profile of a friend on my phone to test it and everything works fine with his profile.
Anyone can help me out with this issue?

bluetooth is an APPLE issue: they have blocked many of the 'normal' bluetooth features on 'other' handsets..
an example you may be thinking of is Sharing a photo via Bluetooth .. simple everywhere else, but can not be done on iphone
-you have to use it via an app such as iphoto, or send it attatched via an email, from the iphone.
stupid, annoying, yes.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

My iPhone 4 refuses to save pictures and at some instances, delete my existing pictures. I take a picture, and then go to camera roll and look, but it doesn't show up. The same thing happens when I try to screenshot things; it won't save.

My iPhone 4 is severely making me mad. It won't save any pictures I take. I will take the picture, then go to view it in the Camera Roll, and it just won't be there. The same thing occurs when screen shotting things on my iPhone. Some times it won't even let me delete the existing pictures I had on my phone before this all happened. I will click delelte, then it will pause, and eventually close me out of the photos app. However, when I go to settings, it says I have 440MB of pictures on here somewhere. But I can oly see 3 pictures in the camera roll. Also, it says in the camera roll app that it is 'Restoring...' then just sits and loads and won't restore anything at all. HELP ME PLEASE. I have iOS 7.1 currently installed.

Have you Tried Clearing the The Cache in the Camera or Gallery in your Applications Area.. Go to Settings--> Applications--> Manage Applications--> Select All--> Clear the Cache in Both the Camera & Gallery Clearing the Data however might Clear you Pictures in your Gallery but if your Ok with it Give it a Shot,

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
unable to save the file to the specified location'. It will save a regular PDF file
or a JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
results in the above mentioned system error.
This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
loaded.

Hello TrailsEnd,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
First, I would recommend downloading this tool called the Print and Scan Doctor. This tool diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including: (This information is stated here.)

Let me know if this tool fixes a scanning problem on this post. If this doesn't resolve your issue, then I am going to recommend uninstalling the software. Please follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once this is complete, you can perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Now, you can install the full feature software from the HP website here.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

Updated Firefox won't save my preferences; reverts to original settings.

A few days ago, Firefox updated itself to the 18.0.1 version. Now, each time Firefox updates itself, I tend to lose some of my preferences, those being: opening new tabs as a blank page, tabs being on the bottom, and showing my windows and tabs from last time. Usually, though, once I go and change these things back to the way I like them, they stay like that and I have no further problems.
However, this time Firefox won't save my preferences. The tabs go back to being on top, the tabs I last closed aren't there, and these tool bars I don't want keep appearing. Instead, three tabs are always there upon opening Firefox: Welcome to Firefox, Mozilla Firefox Start Page, and Yahoo! Toolbar. Also, when opening a new tab, the page says, "page does not exist" or something, and the URL is not even comprehensible, just random letters like someone bashed their head into the keyboard, something like: "jkfui87$^&%$$09."
I've tried resetting Firefox like it says in the "How to fix preferences that won't save" page, but it didn't help. As for deleting certain files from the profile folder, before I resetted Firefox, I only had "user" and "prefs" and "Invalidprefs" which weren't exactly what that self-helping page asked for so I didn't delete them. After I resetted Firefox I lost the "user" file, but I still have the other two. Should I try deleting them even if they're not exactly like the page describes? They are missing the ".js" part so I haven't felt comfortable messing with them.
Please give me some advice. I'm tired of having to go change my settings in "about:config" each time I open Firefox. But I really don't want to try anything that would delete my bookmarks or history, as I'm very dependent of them.

Obviously no one here actually READS these things, I tried all of that even did a clean install, even uninstalled all user data and THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE!
Your help is completely useless, All you people do is copy and paste the same thing over and over. If it didn't work the first 20 times it's still not going to work no matter how many times you copy and paste the same fucking link.
You have lost a die hard fan of Firefox, I am switching to another browser.
Unfortunately I tried older versions of Firefox and had to go all the way back to Firefox 4 and now the problem is fixed.

Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10 won't save pdf file as original file name

We are currently using Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10.
When we open and existing pdf file then make any changes (using the Fill & Sign Tab at the top right hand side) then click Save it won't save the file. We have to re-name the file in order to save it.
This was working ok back in January and wondered if there has been an up-date since then that has made this error occur?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. We have tried that but it has not made any difference. Adobe still requires a new file name to save the file.

CS2 won't save jpg since LR2.7 has been installed

Hi folks,
A few weeks ago I purchased LR 2.7 (and don't regret it for a minute!). Since then my CS2 has developed some funny habits, though, and won't save any photos as jpg that have first been worked on in LR. The error I get is "Cannot save due to program error". I assume that CS2 (antiques, I know...) is not really compatible with LR 2.7. But at the moment I have to make do with exporting first from LR and then opening it again in CS2 if I need to go on there. Everything works fine that far but after all the work I put into the thing CS2 just won't play. No problem saving as psd file. And I have created a 'workaround' to save my efforts after all, pasting it into a new document in CS2. No problem saving then. But it seems rather strange to me.
I work with an XP PC with loads of space & an external harddisk, a dual core quad processor and 4GB RAM. The original photos are taken in RAW.
Anybody who can give me an idea why my CS2 is having these fits of jealousy since it got competition from LR?
Thanks and grts

Hi Victoria,
Thanks for the very prompt reply!
And yes, I indeed did use the adjustment brush in all the obstinate cases. I
think that I'll go for Jeffrey's for the time being and wait for my purse to
fatten up a bit to get the CS upgrade which I was planning anyway. Thanks a
lot for your help

I'll bet you've used the adjustment brush or graduated filter? There's a
CS2 bug that falls over that perfectly legitimate metadata. Your options
are:
>
    •    Upgrade to CS3 or later. (While we’re on the subject of CS2 and
upgrades, CS5 is the last upgrade that CS2 users can buy at an upgrade
price. Once CS6 is available, CS2 users will have to pay the full price to
upgrade, as only the previous 3 releases qualify for the discounted upgrade
pricing.)
    •    Check the ‘Minimize Embedded Metadata’ checkbox in the Lightroom
Export dialog, which will strip ALL of the metadata. It solves the problem,
but leaves you short of any metadata in your files.
    •    Use Jeffrey’s Metadata Wrangler to strip just the problem metadata
from the file, which is by far the best option.
>
To use Jeffrey’s Metadata Wrangler Export plug-in, you’ll first need to
download it and install the plug-in from
http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/metadata-wrangler
>
Select the plug-in in the lower left of the Export dialog, and you’ll see
the additional section appear in the main Export options panel — scroll down
if you can’t see them.
>
The only part you need to remove is the ‘crs’ block -– all of the rest of
the metadata can stay. The ‘crs’ block is the Camera Raw Settings metadata,
better known as the Develop settings, and photos exported with that block
removed will quite happily save as a JPEG, even with Photoshop CS2.

7.2 won't save artwork, where can I get previous version of iTunes?

iTunes 7.2 won't save any new artwork. When I press the 'Add' button in the Artwork window, I can select a .jpg file, it displays in the Artwork window, but NOT in the Selected Item window. If I return to the Artwork window immediately it's empty. None of my existing artwork seems to be affected.
I want to download a previous version of iTunes, but all I can find is 7.2. Can anybody help?

go to downloads.com or versiontracker.com or a download site for apple products and download it there

InDesign CC for Mac won't save file

I've been using InDesign CC and working on a document for over a month. Been saving it in Creative Cloud. Have had no problem opening it, making changes and then saving it. Today I opened, made changes and the file will not save. I've tried saving it down and opening in Indesign 6 and it still won't save. I also cleared InDesign preferences and reinstalled InDesign. Still won't save when I open it up. The strange part is I'm able to open on another computer through Creative Cloud and am able to work on it and save back to Creative Cloud. No matter what I do I can't open and then save on the original computer.

Finally discovered the problem. It was a PDF of an ad I received from an agency. Once I took it out of the document I was able to save as usual. Thanks for your help!

QT won't save movies, exported jpegs won't open.

I am running the latest version of QT pro on my PC, windows XP. When editing a movie clip, I can edit to my heart's content, but when I go to save it, QT won't save it. It acts like it saves, but it doesn't.
Also, when I export a movie to picture, the resulting image is useless. Photohop can't open it. Windows Picture and Fax Viewer can't open it...nothing works. In Windows Picure and Fax viewer (for the jpeg), I get the error message, "No review available." In photoshop (for the jpeg), the error message is: "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid jpeg marker is found." When I try to open the pct file in Photoshop, it says," Could not complete your request beause the PICT file is too complex to open on this computer. Photoahop Windows supports raster PICT files only." I have a GIG of ram and the PICT file is only 65 KB. I have tried using various joeg settings, exporting as a PNG file... nothing works. What's up?
I bought Quicktime speciically for these two functions, and neither one of them works. I have Quicktime on a mac at home and it works fine.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Looks like the update has wreaked havoc (who uses that expression nowadays, anyway?) on your PRAM settings. You can try and reset them: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
