I can no longer save from Dropbox to my iPhone's camera roll

In the past, I have uploaded video files from my PC into Dropbox, downloaded them from Dropbox onto my iPhone, then saved them to my iPhone camera roll.
I am now trying to do this for the first time since I upgraded the iPhone to iOS 7.1. It is not working. I've uploaded several large files to Dropbox, and downloaded them to the iPhone. The downloads are completed and in the Dropbox app on the phone. I go to each file and mark it as a favorite (star). I then go into favorites, choose one of these files, and press the icon (a curving arrow pointing down into a box-like shape) that should enable me to save to the camera roll. But instead of being given that option, two things pop up: some text about using AirDrop ("Share instantly with people nearby. If they do not appear automatically...") and also an icon of another app I have installed on the iPhone, called "Xfinity Connect" (an e-mail client app from my ISP, Xfinity) accompanied by the text, "Open in Connect".
The "Save to camera roll" option is absent.
The only other option given is "Cancel".
I did try clicking the "Open in Connect" option - all that does is launch an e-mail message in that Xfinity app with the file I'm trying to save as an attachment.
Any idea how to get DropBox to work as it did before the iOS 7.1 upgrade, and give me the option of saving video files to my camera roll?
If it makes any difference, these are large files, in the hundreds of megabytes. They are in AVCHD format.

Thanks for the judgmental response, Dave. My favorite part was where you told me how to manage the space on my computer. My second favorite part was when you accused me to stealing music.
I have only synced my iPhone with one computer and its iTunes library. I download music legally to that computer, from mixtape sites, Bandcamp, Amazon and---GASP---other none iTunes sites, load it onto my iPhone, then delete some of it, because I don't listen to music on my computer. I listen to it on a device I purchased to play it. That device is called an iPhone. It's supposed to play mp3s.
Have I blown your mind?
But if I am hearing you right, you are telling me the iPhone is literally the only mp3 player in existence that doesn't and shouldn't have the basic functionality to have new mp3s loaded to it from a single authorized computer. That I should be happy now that I cannot load new music onto it, and I should just live with the music that I have already loaded, since I can't load anymore.
And that I should be happy that this basic functionality that, until the most recent software update, I have always had has magically disappeared.
How foolish it was of me to be upset about this! Thank you for showing me the light, Dave.

With ios 7 how can I add videos from a shared photostream to my camera roll?

When I am viewing a shared photostream that I subscribe to I am able to select photos and add them to my camera roll (essentially saving someone's shared photos to my device). Now that you can add videos to shared photostreams with ios 7 I was hoping to be able to do the same with videos. However, when I view a shared vieo and attempt to save it to my camera roll it is not an option. Any ideas on how to do this?

iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Photo Sharing and Shared Photo Streams
To save photos/video from the photo stream to your camera roll, select it, click the share button, and select "save to camera roll". It will remain in the photo stream as well, until you delete it.

How to sync video files from your Mac to iPhone/iTouch camera roll.

Everything's updated. Use new Macbook Pro & 4th gen iTouch
Problem: I do not know how to put a video from my computer to my iPod camera roll.
Here's what I DON'T want: I do not want to sync a video from my computer to the iOS "Videos" app.
Here's what I DO want : I want to sync a video from my computer to my iOS "Photos" app. aka camera roll.
It would be SOO amazing if someone knows how to do this. Thanks

If you want to transfer any size video to your iPod Touch, you can do this by dragging and dropping it into Pic Share It. The video will appear in your Camera Roll. It's a free program. Here's a video showing how it works.

I have a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and I can no longer "save to iphoto" when photos come by email.

I have a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and I can no longer "save to iPhoto " when I get photos on email.

What changed, before you could no longer save image attachments to iPhoto?
Did you install new software or upgrade to newer versions? Which version of iPhoto are you using?
The "Save to iPhoto" feature has been missing for some iPhoto versions. I do not remember exactly when it vanished, but it is back with iPhoto 9,6 and MacOS X 10.10.2.
As a work-around - you can drag photo attacuments from your mail to the iPhoto icon in the Dock to save them to iPhoto.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Hey louiseg45826294,
Thank you for posting on Adobe forums.
Could you please let me know what Adobe Writer program you are talking about. Is it Adobe Acrobat or Reader?
Could you please share the screenshot of the exact error message that appears.
Are the PDF forms saved on your computer's local drive?
Hope to hear from you.

At my last update I can no longer save my tabs before shutting down. Can you help?

At my last update I can no longer save my tabs before shutting down. Can this be changed?

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:

After upgrading to OS 10.8.1 I can no longer scan from my Canon MP240 printer when it is connected to Airport Express.

I can no longer scan from printer (Canon Pixma MP240) when it is connected to Airport Express, although printing is no affected. However, when connected directly to MBP scanning works fine. I have tried all the standard remedies; reinstalling drivers, resetting printer system, selecting sharing options, but no luck. Previous to Mountain Lion this function worked fine. Any ideas how to regain this capability?
Thanks,
J.

I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

I can no longer print from my ipad to my hp b210 printer. I am attached to the network and can send print jobs to the printer successfully. I have tried rebooting all three devices , IPAD, Printer and router with no luck. When I send a print job to the printer it simply sends and disappears. nothing prints

Hi DanielBN,
I am glad that you are using an Hp ePrint printer, B210a.
I would suggest you to check the print center on your iPad and cancel jobs in the print center and then try.
You can follow the step bleow in order to cancel jobs on the iPad.
Click on the home key 2times.
It will bring up the apps you visited and it should also show print center.
Click on the print center and cancel the first job or all the jobs.
Then try printing from the iPad.
Do let us know the result.
Thanks

How do you check your tls certificate? Is is me.com or mac.com?
I am so frustrated.

Hi philo f,

I'm using a Mac / Leopard. I can no longer "save as" an image. Please see the "details" section for more information. Thanks.

I'm using a Mac / Leopard. Beginning about a month ago, I can no longer "save as" an image. The "Save Image As" menue comes up -- but then nothing. I can drag images onto the desktop, but that's it. I tossed out Firefox, and then downloaded it and reinstalled it, but have the same problem. (I couldn't figure out how to get rid of profiles and bookmarks -- so they remained). As I type this question on the Firefox website, I don't see the forum in front of me -- just a window to type a question. So, if you answer this question, I'm not sure I'll be able to find the answer. Thus, if you'd be so kind as to also email me the answer, that would be greatly appreciated: davidfreeman11 AT gmail.com Thanks

Can no longer scan from my HP Photosmart C 4650 to my computer since upgrading to Maverick

I can no longer scan from my HP Photosmart C 4650 to my computer since I upgraded to Maverick. I have to use image capture to do so. Are there any fix's out there?

My C4680 works w/o any issues in the last four OSs. You might want to reinstall the 2.16.1 driver update.

After I installed the recent Apple security patch, I can no longer save PDFs when using Safari. And Firefox no longer can open website PDFs. Any suggestions?

If the previous Safari suggestion doesn't work try the following:
In Finder, go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and move AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled Plug-ins Folder. Restart Safari. If this works you may just want to delete that FUBAR plug-in.
Thanks. This was the solution for me.
