HELP! trying to save a photoshop file, getting the message, 'could not save...'

HELP! trying to save a photoshop file -working with CS5 - getting the message, 'could not save xxx because of a programme error' I have tried changing the file name, no difference. Help. A lot of work I don't want to flush away. Thanks Kevin

You may be running on borrowed time. It sounds like something in your OS file system interface has become corrupted.
But some things to try:
1. Save to another local drive/volume, ESPECIALLY if you're trying to save on a network.
2. Choose Image - Duplicate, then try to save on a local drive/volume as a PSD.

Whenever I close down Photoshop CS5 I get the message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the get info command in Finder to unlock the file or change permission on the file or enclosing folders." What on earth does it mean? How can I stop this message from appearing?

It seems you lack the rights to change the file, so you may want to repair permissions.
Do you have administrator rights?

When performing the exact same operation in Adobe Photoshop CC, i can add audio in the same way, no error message. Any ideas to solve this, anyone? Would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to update and it keeps telling me to get the Application Manager. And this is what happens
Adobe Application Manager failed and it told me to download the Adobe Support Advisor.
Adobe Support Advisor told me that there was an issue:" cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred. "Token Number: 40-87772-063201122012
I followed the instructions it gave me to correct this issue:
If you receive the error "Installer has detected that a machine restart is pending. It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart try again," do the following:
#Restart the computer and try the installation again.
#If the installation fails, delete the InProgress registry key:

Launch Windows Registry Editor.

I was not able to find the "InProgress" key.

My partner deleted my itunes (10) library. I use a WD external back-up and retrieved my itunes library, but when i try to play a song i get the message 'could not be used because the original file could not be found Would you like to locate it?'

My partner deleted, by accident my itunes library. I have an iMac 10.6.7, Itunes 10. I use an WD passport as an external back up and retrieved my itunes library but now get the message "could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" so itunes is not recognised the exclamation marked songs, how do i get the retrieved files recognised. At times I get fed-up with Apple blocking files being used, although I like the product its restrictions are so silly!

You not only have to retrieve the library file from the backup drive but the actual music files (usually stored within the "iTunes Media" folder) as well.

It sounds like your PC or Mac's internal HD is full. You need to delete some data or move it to an external hard drive or storage device of some sort before you'll be able to successfully complete the restore.

HT4623 My new iPad can no longer connect to the 3G network. I keep getting the message "could not activate cellular date network".

I updated my new iPad to the iOS 6 while connected to wifi. However, it will no longer connect to the 3G network. I keep getting the message "could not activate cellular data network" even though the 3G symbol appears normal. I have tried rebooting, but it still doesn't work. Please help!

No. You can't

I am having trouble re insalling itunes i get the message "Could not access network location %APPDATA%|.

Help can't install or uninstall itunes keep getting the message " could not access network location %APPDATA%\, "

And follow this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Apple moved some drivers for 64-bit now to where they should have been.
Quicktime also use to place files outside the norm.
One of the reasons I recommend when it comes to Apple:
Wait for the ".1" and always use the uninstaller first and then install.
That means you may want manual standalone installer instead - and that way you have 10.4.1 in case you need to later downgrade.

Without knowing a lot more details we can't tell you anything. This is just the most generic Photoshop error message imaginable. What system are you on? What version of Photoshop? what are you doing when the error occurs? Provide as much info as you can. Refer to this as a start:

When I try to save a photo, I get error message Could not complete your request because of a program error. What's wrong?

I edit a photo and when I click Save As, I get error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error." I exit Elements, try again, same error.
In past I had this problem but it resolved when rebooted PC. This time, PC reboot does not help.
I cannot save anything i do in elements!!
What's wrong? Any suggestions how to fix this? Anyone know what the program error is

Please mention your PSE version and underlying OS.
Also, it would be of great help in resolving the issue if you can upload a snapshot of error message.

When trying to use the App Store, I get a message "could not sign in, an unknown error has occurred, any suggestions what is wrong? I reset our Internet and turned off the iPad.

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
