I am suddenly unable to save or retrieve patterns in PS CS6

my computer crashed and was serviced.  Now I'm unable to save or retrieve the latest saved patterns in Photoshop CS6, or save new ones. The program freezes and I get an error message "cannot load the patterns because of a disk problem".  When I save patterns,
they don't show up on the pull down menu at all. What can I do? I'm told I need a new hard drive for my computer but I want to save all the patterns and other presets before I do that.  Please help.  Thank you

  • I am puzzled by iMac(Intel ?).  I am running an iMac 24 and use Mac:Office 2008.  After having downloaded my Os X LION upgrade, I am suddenly unable to SAVE (and thus alter) my Excel quotations.  This is a major issue for a salesman.  Can anybody help me

    I am puzzled by the meaning of iMac (Intel) as I use an iMac 2 period.  I am running Mac : Office 2004 and do all my quotations in Excel.  After upgrading to OS X LION,  I am suddenly unable to SAVE my spreadsheets.  As a salesman whose quotations need frequent updating,  my situation is perilous to say the least.  Can anyone help me ?

    Office for Mac 2004 is NOT compatible with Lion. It must be upgraded to Office for Mac 2008 or 2011, once you have upgraded the files will be accessable. Office for Mac 2004 is written for old PPC (Power PC) based machines. Beginning with Lion support for PPC based apps has been dropped.

  • Suddenly unable to save changes to shared document (10.6.4 server & client)

    Hi,
    a client of mine has a network with a 10.6.4 server and mixed clients (10.6.4 and 10.5.8). People edit documents within shared folders (mainly using Word and Pages) and all works as expected until, sometimes, some of them suddenly can't save changes to the file they were working on, so they have to save it locally (BTW, the mounted disks are still accessible)
    The strange thing is that the above does usually happen around 7 PM: I've tried to find out if there are periodic maintenance tasks on the server, other than "daily" (scheduled at 3 AM), but I found none.
    The server is running Time Machine, but I've disabled backup of either OpenDirectory and SharePoints data to temporarily avoid a known problem related to it (spontaneous unmount of network volumes and so on).
    Thanks for your help!

    It sounds like a permissions error within her Home folder. Repair Permissions doesn't touch anything within the Home folder. Use this procedure for that...
    1. Start up from your Install Disk.
    2. Choose your language.
    3. Choose "Reset Password" from the "Utilities" Menu.
    (Don't worry we are not going to do that.)
    4. Choose the option at the bottom to Repair Permissions and ACLs on your Home Folder.
    5. When finished restart from HDD.
    Terminal would be quicker,,,
    sudo chown -R $USER ~press enter
    You'll be prompted for your password, when you enter it, it will be invisible. Next enter this command…
    chmod -R u+rwX ~press enter

  • Suddenly unable to save attachments

    I use Mail 2.1.3
    Suddenly I am no longer able to save attachments by clicking "save". If I doubleclick on the attachment I receive a message telling me I cannot open unless I download. I click download but nothing happens.
    I don't understand. Appreciate any help.
    I have quit mail and restarted. I restarted my computer, same problem.

    Thanks for getting back. Good suggestion. I didn't get around to trying it because the next day everything was fine.
    What I did notice while troubleshooting is that I only had problems with files from one source. I had that person send files to someone else who forwarded the files to me and I had no trouble downloading them to my hard disk but couldn't save nor drag to desktop of it came from that one computer. After we both shut down and went home for the day, everything was fixed.
    Very strange.

  • Suddenly unable to save files edited in camera raw

    Mac Pro, 2 TB drive, 8 GB RAM, lots of empty HD space.  Nikon D4 RAW files
    After using camera RAW to process thousands of photos and saving in jpg with this equipment, suddenly I get a message in a window, "the file could not be saved".  I haven't changed any settings.  I can work around by opening in PS and saving. Emptied cache and didn't resolve issue.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks
    Don

    Also, I no longer get anything in "File Naming" after "Example:". I'm wondering if Camera RAW has beome corrupted,
    Not sure if I can follow your workflow because you also have files in iPhoto and Image Capture which settings both are not compatible with each other as with Camera Raw.
    But you have two options to use ACR, either in PS or in Bridge. Select a problem file and with right mouse click menu choose Open in Camera Raw, this opens the file in ACR using Bridge, the normal open command opens ACR in PS.
    This to see if it happens in both applications. If not reset prefs for the problem application, if both then maybe manual reinstall ACR plug in.
    But in all cases, can you provide more details about OS version and exact PS, Bridge and ACR version (the latter in PS, menu Photoshop, about plug in / camera raw)

  • PSE 7...Unable to save edited photos in a version set

    I am suddenly unable to save my edited photos in a version set.  The edited photo is being saved on the hard drive but is not linked to the previous photo nor is visable in the open catalog.  This issue in occuring in only one catalog but not in others.  Thanks for any help.

    You may be encountering a known bug.  To troubleshoot:
    1. In the Organizer, select one of the problem photos (the original, not the edited), right-click it, and do Show Properties.  What is the full, precise path of the photo, shown to the right of the yellow folder icon at the bottom of the Properties window?
    2. Do Help > System Info.  What is the precise path given for Catalog Location?

  • Unable to open any of my projects in CS6

    I'm suddenly unable to open any of my projects in CS6. Each time I try to open one (either from its folder, or from "Open" when I'm already in CS6) a new box comes up like this:

    Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
    I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
    So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
    How can I get rid of this error message?

    Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
    Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
    Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
    #2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk  of your internal drive  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    #3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
    If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

  • Pse 5 unable to save edits

    I have hade pse 5 for several years.  All of a sudden, I can't save edits.  I get error message, "Unable to save.  Computer error."  What to do?

    Thank you for your response.
    I'll reinstall PSE and see what happens.  The error message has changed to "an error in the program has occurred."  Doesn't state which error, but does lead to the conclusion that reinstalling would be a good idea.
    >>> TinkerTinkerUK <[email protected]> 11/2/2009 1:38 AM >>>
    Not clear if this problem relates to all edits or just one or two pictures. My suggested acton is
    1) use Vista to copy these pictures to somewhere safe (CD/DVD, another computer).
    2) make another copy of the picture e.g. copy fred.jpg to fred_xx.jpg; and see if edit works on the new file.
    The key thing at the moment must be to save the pictures.
    Once the pictures are secure then you can worry about PSE. If the pictures are OK then my next move would be to reinstall PSE5 (this will not have any impact on albums or configurations as you are only reloading the source code)
    The fact that you do not have other copies of pictures highlights the need for backups and file management of pictures. My action is always to bring all the pictures (good and bad) from the camera into a picture_download file which is stored on two different hard drives (in my case a separate computer). I then copy the pictures to the Adobe work area and do all the deletions, corrections there. Hence, if disaster strikes, I can always go back to the original.

  • Unable to Save more than 1 Business-object-provider for the Connector.

    I m using MEP 1.0 Platform.
    My Ecbo Connector "BankDb" had initially "Account" Object Provider which i was able to save successfully via the MEP console.Later on i added the "Statement" Object Provider to the same connector. But i get this Exception
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object:
    {[[email protected]f,
    [email protected]55,

    [email protected]d,
    [email protected]9]} is not a known entity type.
    I shut down my Server & then restarted it.i removed the AccountObject Provider & Added StatementObject Provider instead & clicked save & it saved my Connector Successfully But when i tried to add the AccountProvider too i get the same exception.In short i am unable to save both providers at the same time in the console.
    I googled later on & found something Similar on java.net
    https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3235
    I am not sure about all of this as i am just a beginner.
    Please Help
    Thx in Advance
    Alex.

    Hello, thanks for your interest in the GlassFish Mobility Platform. The ECBO architecture supports exactly one business-object-provider per connector. You could combine your account and statement data into a single composite business object. You could also upgrade to MEP 1.1 and use the dynamic data feature (JerseyME) on the client to retrieve dynamic data such as the statement report and use the business-object-provider for the synchronized data, ie. the account activity. For more information see the [Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform 1.1 Developer's Guide for Enterprise Connectors|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7207] .

  • I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S.  Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls? HELP!

    I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S. 
    I have spent 2 hour-long sessions with technical support and although they were very nice, it is still not fixed.
    When I try to call the phone from a land line, it doesn't ring AND it doesn't recognize that a call is coming in (no missed call) BUT if I leave a message, it records it.
    Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls?
    HELP!

        MarketingMary,
    I am truly sorry to hear that your are unable to receive calls on your device. Thank you tbo27 for providing great troubleshooting steps. Making sure call forwarding is not active by dial *73 is great. Have you already reset network settings also? http://vz.to/RTz70g Are you able to make calls fine? Make sure Do not Disturb is not active. Settings>Do Not Disturb
