I broke the ability to save documents.

Hello community,
A while ago I followed what was written here:
http://osxdaily.com/2013/11/24/slow-open-save-dialog-problem-mac-os-x/
This completely broke the ability to save text and pixelmator documents. So I reverted the change back to normal, but ever since then it has been broken...
This needs to be fixed ASAP, as I can't save text and pixelmator documents! Can anyone help me with this?
I'm having other problems I can't seem to get solved as well, so I might be considering reinstalling OSX Mavericks. HOWEVER, I have so much settings, keyboard shortcuts, programs with settings, bettertouchtool settings, keyboard layout hacks and other things I don't want to loose or have to reinstall, since it'll cost me at least a week...
Can I reinstall all the basic files from OSX Mavericks without losing all my programs and other settings inside mavericks?
Or can someone help me solve both my problems instead?
Cheers!

The problem appeared to have erupted from a finder theme alteration I made following this post. So I reverted the change and it works again.

How to restrict the ability to save a PDF file in Acrobat.

Hello ! This is my first topic, evaluating to acquire Acrobat Professional 8, and I am asked if possible to restrict the ability to save a pdf file, when users are reading the file with Acrobat Reader. We are into creating a in-house document accessible to all users internally, using Acrobat Reader. I was able to restrict the printing, but I am unable to restict the saving of the file.
Any one knows if this possible ? or not?
Users are using Windows XP/2k
Thanks

Once they open it on their machine, they have a copy on that machine. They can simply move that copy to where ever they desire, making copies as they go. You can restrict copying content (though not full proof), printing, and changing the document, but not the physical file itself. Be careful with security and the assumption it fixes all your issues. PDF security is not all that secure. If you need higher levels of security, they you have to use the DRM (I think that is it) at a pretty cost.

I am using a verizon email address and microsoft office for mac outlook program to manage my emails. Does any one know if the apple outlook version offers the ability to save emails as a pdf so that I can save it to my hard drive and how to access?

This is the Microsoft forum site that parallels what Apple has:

It's not uncommon for MS employees who work with the Mac side of the business to help there. All in all a useful resource for Office:Mac

When will the ability to save progress be available?

I have a form that I want to use in Forms Central but it is rather long so I need the ability to save option. Any ideas on the timeline?
Thanks

Hi;
Unfortunately we can't share any information on a timeline but I will say it is something we're looking into on and hope to be able to deliver it soon, but can't say what soon means;-).
Thanks,

I would like the ability to save a thumbnail preview for use by the OS on image export.

Hello,
I have been using Lightroom for about three years and one of the many features I would like to see is the ability to save a thumbnail for the image while exporting an image. This is an option available in other leading software, and also happens when you save an image in Photoshop. It isn't a huge issue when using a Mac because you have the option for the finder to force an image preview. It is however an issue when your client uses Windows since the OS doesn't allow the user to force a thumbnail preview.
The client is king, especially with the economy and market the way that it is. If the client wants thumbnails on their images in their OS, the photographer needs to be able to deliver. I don't expect myself or any other photographer to have to open files in Photoshop and save them to force a thumbnail for the image.
This software is in no way as expensive as Photoshop and it does have amazing features, but it is also not cheap and is intended for working professionals.

Your original links were ok, two JPGs and one PNG. BTW,the resizing wasn't necessary because the warning about it is only for viewing the photo in the message. You can always click on the photo and see the full-sized version, as long as it doesn't exceed the filesize limit, of course.
On my Windows 7, both JPGs show a Windows Picture Viewer program icon when set to the default settings, and both JPGs show a thumbnail icon when the icon-size is increased. This is a function of Windows, not the contents of the files, as far as I can tell.
No thumbnail Icons using the default view:
Thumbnail icons when switching to the next larger sized icons:
On the Mac the two images act differently, but you're asking for Mac-specific things to occur, and Adobe may choose to not do it based on it not being different on Windows.
For what Windows scenario does the PS-saved JPG show a thumbnail-icon instead of a program-icon when the LR-saved one shows only the program icon. I'm not asking about the Mac where your screenshot shows the difference, I'm asking about Windows. Is it only when you e-mail pictures or is it on the customer's hard-drive, somehow, and what is the customer using the view the images?

Since upgrading to Lion, i am unable to take screen shots. i get the message that i don't have permission to save files to the place where SSs are saved. how can i regain the ability to save screen shots? thanks

First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion. I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

COPA reports KE30 - restricting the ability to Save definitions

Hi All,
Has anyone been able to restrict the ability to Save definition (Report-> Save Definition) but allowing a user to save data.
I have been playing around with auth object K_KEB_REP and Activity L0.
If I remove this activity - yes the user cannot save definition but they loose alot of other functionality from the "Report" menu like Saving data, exporting and so fourth.
I only want to restrict the Save Definition option
Is there a way to do this??

I would suggest on restricting both the below objects
K_CCA
K_REPO_CCA
Maintain the related cost center in both the above objects. Then in COPA report user will be able to see that particular report only where he/she is authorized to...

Will Word 2016 have the option to save documents as the Word 97-2003 file format like Word 2013 does?

This is talking about if Word 2016 will have the option to save documents as the Word 97-2003 format like Word 2013 does or not.

Hi Carolyn,
It sounds as though the filename extension association has become confused on your system. It's odd that it happened after conversion, but it should be easy to fix nonetheless.
Here are some instructions for changing file associations on both Mac OS and Windows:
Change File Associations in Mac OS X - OS X Daily
Change which programs Windows uses by default ... (Windows 7)
Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help (Windows Vista)
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,

QuickTime Player 10.1 no more includes the ability to save a movie file in the same format as the original movie after editing it? No, it doesn't!

Since upgraded to Lion, I have to wait for QuickTime Player 10.1 to "CONVERT" every file that I edited in it.
Yes, it might save some disk space for me.(Which is not always the case though.) But it also takes almost 10 times or more as it did when back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 there I could save any file in the same format as the original movie WITH NO NEED TO CONVERT IT.
Now I have to wait like 10 minutes to delete just a few frames.(The time it takes depends upon the original size of that movie. The larger the longer.) And guess what? If you have two clips originally split up from a movie and sperately getting saved(converted actually) with a loooooooot of time, and you naively added one of them to the other's end and then saved the finished one. It converts AGAIN! Doing so back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 only takes you even a few seconds only!
Seriously, are we eating Apple or dirt this time?

My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
It seems obvious from other forum posts this is a planned move so that everything is the "new mobile device" ready state/format. To use Marc Speth's post as material....
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23749558#23749558
this is probably about dumbing down desk top OS to that pf iPhones and iPads. This is not what I paid good money to own a Mac Book Pro for....
Today I rolled all the back to Snow Leopard. Really good move...... All those new features hey? I lost the ability to work in spaces and of course the whole Quicktime debacle.
The rolling back process was easy, restored from a point prior to installing Lion and Mavericks and the only issue was my iPhoto libraries. Thank my stars that I still had back ups that I had not converted yet.... viva la Mavericks...NOT. Apple can keep it.
Unsure if you are just venting or if there is supposed to be a question here. Basically, I assumed this to be Apple's idea of an improvement. That is, I really believe the ProRes 422 codec is a better intermediate codec than the AIC codec but most of my old HDV camcorder family tapes were imported by iMovie (for compatibility with my wife's non-FCP computer configuration) and, like your content, is/remains stored as AIC/PCM MOV files. At first I thought this might be a generalized change affecting all QT X based apps but when I went to check the latest iMovie v10.0 update, became confused when I noted that AIC source files were not automatically updated to ProRes 422 and continue to play natively in the iMovie source media viewer.
I guess this is supposed to be a logical evoluption and we were supposed to have seen the "handwriting on the wall" dating back to when Apple's first released the free ProRess "player" ProRes 422 codec. Still, it would have been nice if Apple had given some warning during the last few years so users could plan and prepare for such a drastic change. For the moment, I am just thankful that AIC remains, at least temporarily, supported nativelyby the iMovie video editor under Mavericks. Thank goodness for small favors.

The Ability to share documents.

Please allow us to send and receive Microsoft Office documents and other non-image files from the File Explorer.

I see, so the CLP is for real-time functions. We do not need that so i will not bother with it.
I was able to create the room and setup the folders for sharing documents. Problem i have now is i need to simplify the interface, I tried to create a new template but i do not get an option to choose which room parts/pages i would like to include.
I would like to create a room that contains only the following parts: SAP Admin: Member, SAP Documents "On 2 levels", SAP Tasks.
There is no standard template that contains only these parts and as stated above during the creation of a new template, i'm not given the option to choose which parts i would like to include.
Do you know how i can go about doing this?
Thanks.
I got it, they call it extentions in the template wizard. I was able to create a template with the parts that i needed.
Thanks for your help

With the new version, my dropdowns aren't working and have lost the ability to print documents. I have to use internet explorer to get everything I need.

Having trouble printing documents and using the dropdown features in different software applications.

Firefox 16.0.2 is the last version that works on an Intel Mac with the OS X 10.5 operating system.

Another possibility is to install the Firefox 10.0.12esr (BuildID=20130103094221) version that has more security updates, but misses features present in Firefox 16 (BuildID=20121024073032).

I did have the ability to "save" in PAGES. I upgraded to "Mountain Lion", and now I can not "Save". Help please!

I used to be able to "Save" my material in PAGES. I upgraded to "Mountain Lion" and now when I go to "Save", it says "permission denied". How can I correct this?
<E-mail Edited by Host>

Several users have had this problem in Mountain Lion. The system has decided you don't have read/write permissions. Have you done any updates to your system lately? Using Disk Utility to repair permissions after any upgrade or update, especially to the system, is a good practice. So first, I would repair permissions & then if you still have the problem, locate the file in Finder & go to File > Get Info & look in the Sharing & Permissions section. You should be the only one with read/write permissions but something has happened. Click on the words under "priveledge" next to your name & change it to read & write. You will probably have to enter your admin password.

Hi all, I have just had an issue surface in Ai CS4 with the ability to save as a pdf...

I had recently downloaded AICS5 trial to check out it's awesomeness ( too bad Adobe's customer care isn't ), upon completion of the trial I went ahead and uninstalled the program using the provided uninstaller. After uninstalling the program, my CS4 version stopped giving me all of my pdf file saving options ( like press ready, smallest file size...), is it something that I may have done on accident or is it a problem with the uninstall? How do I fix it? Thanks.

Thanks for at least trying to answer my question. I actually fixed it by using the install disc to just more or less replace the missing components. Works like a charm. Hope you all have a great Christmas / Holiday season. Cheers.

Has Apple added the ability to put Motion docs in a FCPX timeline yet?

Much of my workflow depends on editing Motion Documents in a FCP7 timeline. I know about the ability to save a Motion doc as a template, but I haven't found a way to edit the Motion doc once it's in the FCPX timeline outside of rigs, etc. I need to be able to green screen people into my Motion documents weekly, and green screening through rigs, positioning them in 3D, rendering each individual cut from FCPX to a mov file to a DropZone, and then more editing after that.... it gets complicated and cumbersome. All that I really need is to choose a Motion Doc in a FCPX timeline and open it in Motion as needed - maybe when you right click the doc you see a nice big "Open in Motion" graphic or something - the fact that you can place a Motion file in the timeline makes me think they're not too far from this. Is this a planned addition?

Not a current feature.
"Is this a planned addition?" Apple rarely makes promises of future features publicly. Anyone who would know privately wouldn't be allowed to reveal anything here.

I want to save several written reports for my job on a daily basis on my iPad from my computer is there an app or anyway to do this? Organize,rename and save documents to my iPad?

I scan several reports on a daily basis to my computer I wanted to know is there any app or anyway I can save these documents to my iPad and make sure they are backed up? Also I would like to organize them by name and date is there an app out there that can do this or anyway? I work in a court house with several reports on a daily basis any help please?

I just have the normal app and have had no issue with it. I think the only bug I've heard of is sometimes people start a new document and the Docs to Go will not acknowledge the input of a wifi keyboard until you type a few characters on the on screen keypad, but that may have been fixed.
I find documents easy to find. I have two main folders on my iPad, the desktop folder which has my 'to be kept synced' documents and then another folder with the documents i've put on it permanently. It lists them alphabetically so my only issue finding things is scrollling down 300+ documents.
One thing that I think the premium app has is the ability to access documents via the internet.
How I do it is, I have my document in the sync folder. I open up the docs to go desktop app, open up docs to go on the iPad, tap the sync button and the documents sync...so you do have to have wifi. not sure if that's an issue or not. It's never taken me more than a few seconds to sync.
I do konw that you can buy the basic version and upgrade for the cost difference, so you can always experiment and upgrade if necessary.

I broke the ability to save documents.
