Textedit won't let me save or x-out of any of my documents. Help? I have 18 documents up and I need to save all but 4 of them. They are important. The first 14 need to be saved and most aren't. The other 4 I don't need, but I can't get rid of them.

HT2523 textedit won't let me open a saved page; it won't let me save a version of a page; I go to Finder-Get info & all looks ok, but isn't - please help. I can't turn textedit off or else I lose the few pages that I was working on & that went to the doc

Please help me to open my saved TextEdit pages. Help me to "Save a version" of a revised TextEdit page. I'm not able to do either.
This happens every once in a while, and I don't know how to undo it. I go to Finder - Get info, and it looks like I have permission to "read and write", but nothing changes. Thank you very much for your time and help. : )

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

TextEdit won't let me rename duplicated .html files as a .html file (manually typing it) either in the Finder or the Title Bar by selecting Rename or Save.

TextEdit won't let me rename duplicated .html files as a .html file (manually typing it) either in the Finder or the Title Bar by selecting Rename or Save.
I am only able to rename a duplicated .html file right after I create it, because the file name gets highlighted in the Title Bar, but after that there is no recourse. I I can Rename or Save the file if I want to just save it as a .txt, but I need it to be .html. I guess I can manually change the file later, but it's really annoying.

I remember long ago a similar issue with TextEdit, but I can't remember if there was a solution or not.
Do you have it set to Display HTML files as HTML code and also deselect "When Saving a File: Add ".txt" extension to plain text files"

Acrobat Pro won't let me save previously saved pdf

Acrobat won't let me save current marked-up pdf even though I saved it halfway through. "Save" is grayed out, and when I click "Save As" and try to save with a new name, it says the doc can't be saved because the device is not ready. It won't even let me save it to Acrobat.com. Help! Can't lose all my comments and markups.

Well, now it doesn't matter, because when I went back to the doc, all the text had disappeared in the doc...it only showed my markups. What does this mean?!

It might be better to post over at the Pages forum.

FCP 7 won't let me save changes to effect default settings

Hey all - using FCP 7,0,3 and it will let me make a change to an individual effects default settings, but it won't let me save a new default - i.e.; I'm trying to change the length of disolves because I don't want full 1 second transitions, ever. I can add the transition and change that one, but FCP doesn't remember this preference and makes me do it all over again whenever I use the transition. My FCP is very buggy!

Are you using the correct method to make a new default transition?
If, for example, you want to make a 10 frame dissolve as your default, 1st place a default dissolve on the timeline:
Then change it to 10 frames duration:
Then click on that dissolve in the timeline to select it, and drag it to the FCP browser:
And let go. Then Control-click on the effect in the browser and from the drop down menu choose "Set Default Transition"
Once you have done that, your 10 frame dissolve will the effect applied when you apply the default transition.

IWork bug won't let me save in new folders

Hi I'd like to know why all my iWork apps won't let me save my files in new locations.
Every time I try to save something it only lets me save my file to the page it automatically shows me (my documents).
When I try to make a new folder within my documents to save my files, it tells me that the folder is a read-only location. See picture here:
When I checked the permissions in the info of my documents, or the subfolder I try to make new folder in, it says that anyone who accesses my computer can read and write. See picture here:
Please let me know how I can resolve this because I find it very hassle at this point to organize my files without this feature. I have already restarted the computer, Repaired and verified disk permissions, updated all the software and nothing seems to be working. The only way I can make new folders is by making one through Finder first, placing it in the right location, and saving my files there.
Thanks

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet (works fine with IE)

Ok...Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet. It will let me right click on the image, but I won't let me choose a file type..like jpeg.
I couldn't figure it out so i completely uninstalled firefox then reinstalled. I'm still having the same problems.
I can save images normally with IE.

Yahoo! mail? There are a variety of suggestions but not yet a confirmed solution in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/971042 Firefox suddently stopped downloading email attachments.]

Have you purchased or registered iWork?

Pages won't let me save!!!

I've been working on a few documents today on Pages and it won't let me save. Whenever I try "save as" it just says "The document “Untitled” could not be saved as “(the name I've given the doc)”.
I've been using my word for mac for a few months now and I'm just starting to use pages again. Do I have to uninstall and reinstall iwork?
Help me please!!

I am having a similar problem with Pages, which seems to have occured this week as all was well last week. I don't even have the *save as* option on the File menu any more! Have tried using the *duplicate* option but then am unable to rename the file (or save it elsewhere).
Please check the Pages Discussions - there have been many questions and answers about this issue the last few weeks.
File > Save As was removed by the iWork 9.1 update when it's running on OS X Lion. It was replaced by File > Duplicate. The Duplicate menu creates a temporary copy of a document with the same name. However, this copy still has to be saved to a folder. If you're unable to save a duplicated document please explain what you're doing.
Also, the little black dot that used to sit inside the red dot (upper left corner of page) no longer appears when changes to document are made; does this mean that everything is auto-saved?
Well Auto Save is one of the main features of OS X Lion. So yes, documents are auto saved (the exception is untitled documents that are closed without being saved).
The dot in a window's close button has been replaced too. You can now look at the window title and see if a document has been edited. The window title will state "Document name - Edited".

It won't let me save and quit

I'm working on a garage band file and it won't let me save and close. When I go to File>Save it's ghosted. "ok, maybe I've already saved." But when I go to close Garageband, it won't close. It just makes a sound.

Try right clicking (ctrl+click) the garageband icon in the dock and hit force quit.

ICal won't let me save an event

My iCal all of a sudden won't let me save events . Keep getting error messages that I either haven't set calendar or can't save event since its not in that event store ?

None of the Apple calendars have been maintained or updated since 2010. Not surpring that they are inaccurate. The other thing you should know is that most calendar subscription entries are not editable. This may explain your issues with not being able to add additional entries on the marked holidays. On the other hand, when a calendar publisher makes a change in their calendar, that change will be reflected in your subscription immediately.
I'm not Jewish, but for Jewish holidays many people use and like Hebcal.
http://www.hebcal.com/ical/
You can unsubscribe from the Apple calendar by going to the Calendars button, right clicking on Apple's Jewish holiday calendar, and clicking Delete. Then you can subscribe to one of the Hebcal calendars by clicking on the calendar you want.
