I can't open or save a file if illustrator needs to open a new window to do so.
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac13,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 3.2 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Boot ROM Version: IM131.010A.B05
SMC Version (system): 2.11f16
Serial Number (system): C02L609MDNCW
Hardware UUID: 25D8B2EA-C39C-5B82-82F6-BC2A34DB1EEC
I need to save a file as a PDF but when Illustrator needs to open a new window (ie, when I have to select the location the file is saved to) the window opens for a split second before disappearing. It is the same when trying to open a file or any time Illustrator needs to open a new window. The window appears for a split second then vanishes. From what I've tried, it is only Illustrator doing it. Photoshop displays this error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error." when I first try and open a file but will only do it the first time and then it works ok. Indesign is working fine.
I've tried re-installing Illustrator and Photoshop, restarting my computer but the issue is still there. Is there anything else I can do myself or is there a chance it is an issue with my computer?
I am also having this problem. The issue appears with both my rMacBook pro as well as my 2012 imac. Very frustrating.

We have a SharePoint intranet we use to share documents. I have a user that every time he tries to open an Office document from this site, he receives the prompt: "Do you want to Open or Save this file?". If he opens the file and updates it,
the changes are saved locally on his computer and not onto the website.
The issue doesn't seem to be the site or his permissions because if he tries to do this using my computer instead, he is able to open the file, update it and the updates are saved directly onto the website. It only happens from this specific PC.
The PC is running Win7, IE9 and Office 2010 (same as mine). I also compared the configuration for the different security zones between the 2 PCs and they look the same (internet, intranet and trusted sites). I'm thinking there must be a setting
configured differently somewhere in his IE but I'm not sure what else could be causing his computer to behave differently than mine when performing this task. Any advice would be appreciated...Hi,
Did you mean that you wanted to pop up the dialog of "You are about to open: <Name:file name><From:web site>,How would you like to open this file:Read Only, Edit", update the file and save it back to the current SharePoint library ?
Please check two points below,
Check and make sure add-on "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" is enabled via IE9(32-bit version) Tools->Manage add-ons from your user's PC. if it doesn't appear, please repair or change the Office 2010 from Control
Panel, make sure to install Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support within
Office Tools per this
article.
If add-on "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" has beed enabled, you need to check and disable the the Word
Protected View per this
article, then check result again.
Thanks

Pages v4.0 (727) can't open or save .doc files
Hello everyone,
for a while now I haven't been able to open or save .doc files with Pages. When trying to open a .doc file I get the following message:
"The document "example.doc” couldn’t be opened."
I have tried the following to solve the problem:
1. run Software Update, which told me there were no updates available
2. checked my applications folder to see if Pages was in the iWork '09 folder in order for SU to be able to detect updates (it was)
3. reinstalled Pages from the iWork disc and run SU (which again couldn't detect any updates)
4. deleted the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist file from the Preferences folder in the user library on the Macintosh HD
I'd be very grateful if someone could point me towards a solution, I've spent an age on google looking for one and haven't found anything useful so far.
Thanks in advance
XtremeFluxAre you still on MacOs 10.6.1? You should update it to 10.6.8. Use the Combo update here if the Software Update check doesn't work (which it should) http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
And here you can find the iWork 09 updates. Software Updates should find them!
iWork 9.0.4
iLife Support 9.0.4
You need both. -
I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet using either Safari or Firefox. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. Can anyone help?
Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. -

Same Problem, I can't save the image. I just made a new desktop wallpaper, and I go to Save As.. and it does not show ANY image formats.
-I can choose to save as..
--Photoshop
--Cineon
--D3D/DDS
--Dicom
--Large Document Format
--Photoshop PDF
--Photoshop Raw
--PNG
--TIFF
That is all there is in the format drop down menu.
Image is 1024x768, Locked background layer, 16 bit colour.
I recently installed Xp Service pack 3, and as far as I know, I could save them before that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, so please reply to this or send me an email at ---(Email Addres Deleted)---
*EDIT*
Turns out that the image needs to be 8 Bits/Channel. To do this, select the image and follow these menu instructions..

Do you want to open or save this file? SP 2010 Error
When attempting to access a library, I am receiving an error message 'Do you want to open or save this file?' ; File type is Zip Archieve. Will not open or save, and because of this I cannot access the library.

According to your post, my understanding is that you got the message “Do you want to open or save this file?”.
You can refer to the following articles to disable this download prompt:

Hi
In our Task in Salesforce we generate one CSV file and one doc file after one button click on salesforce screen. we need to download these two documents without the popup message "Do you want to Open or save this file"
Pls suggest Registry Edit Option Or any IE browser configuration or any
code to get rid of this popup as this is very critical for our Task.
Thanks
KartikThanks Alex... I saw this in another Forum and could you pls let me know if this works...that is there is no prompt on CSV download
Begin in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - to change settings for all users
HKEY_CURRENT_USER- to change settings for the current user
Then browse to Software->Microsoft->Internet Explorer->Main->FeatureControl->Feature_Restrict_File_Download
And then set the Value iexplore.exe to 0. If it doesn't exist: Create it (DWORD).
Thanks

Photoshop CS5(64Bit): "You don't have permission to save to this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission." I am the administrator and give myself permission. What can I do to save the file? This is the user's PC, licensed PS CS5 software and Win 7 OS.
Temporarily save to another folder, until you figure it out.
Just because you are the owner and are the sole administrator, does not always guarantee that you have permission. There are several folders that you can not access no matter how hard you try. As for folders in your document folder, it is more likely a basic permission setting that took on permissions of a copied file. Some folders and files are set to a child/parent default setting, meaning the child folder/file (the one you are accessing) has the identical settings of its parent and when the parent changes, so does the child.
You can alter the parent or the child folder/file.
Right click on the folder/file select properties.
Click on the security tab.
Click on each of the group names and see what permissions are set.
You can then edit a group if necessary.
If it will not allow it, you may need to use the advanced button to create a new copy of the group which should happen when you alter its settings (In other words, you don't have to physically create the copy, it does it for you when you OK the changes)
The administrator should have full access to the folder in the documents folder, if you are listed as an associate of the administrator group your name should also be listed there with full access. The System should also have full access.
All other groups should have reading access only if they exist. -
Why can't After Effects save my file?

How to remove the bar: ''do you want to open or save this file''?
If i open a PDF file in IE a bar will pop-up with is asking ''do you want to open or save this file''. Is there a posibility to open this file immediatley. So without the bar that will ask if i want to open or save the file? Loking forward for a answer!
I tried putting the below 2 lines of code at the end of button click event & docClose event.
event.target.dirty=false;
event.target.requiresFullSave=false;
It still gives the warning.
Also I tried to found out the line of code which is making the pdf dirty.
xfa.host.messageBox("is doc dirty (before displayInfo's visible-invisible work): " + event.target.dirty);
xfa.form.form1.sendForm.welcomeMsg.presence = "visible";
xfa.form.form1.sendForm.successMsg.presence = "invisible";
xfa.host.messageBox("is doc dirty (after displayInfo's visible-invisible work): " + event.target.dirty);
The doc got dirty when the successMsg field is made invisible.
Problem I am trying to solve is:
To display a welcome message before user action and after user action wants to display a success message.
I follwed the visible & invisible approach & it wokred but gives me a warning on doc close.(Highly imp to avoid it)
Is there any other approach I could follow here. -
Whenever I open the editor in Photoshop Elements 12 it does not work. When I try to click open in the application it does not do anything. None of the buttons work. When I open a photo using file at the top it opens but I cannot edit it or use any of the features on the left side.
Hi Nealeh
Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
The scenario is:- say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the

I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
So technology is not my friend today! -
I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug. -
I have some old pagemaker files that I need to open so I have bought a G3 on ebay. It turns on OK but all that comes uo on the screen is an envelope with alternating question mark and apple logo. Any ideas?
I suggest you get 9.2. You need to install the same or later version of the OS. One some computer the shipped version has extra drivers. The drivers will not be in the official release in this case 9.1. They would be in 9.2.
Mac OS 9.1 (Mac OS ROM 7.5.1) and Mac OS X 10.0.4 (4P13)

The blinking question mark means that your mac firmware could not find a valid operating system

Try holding down the option key then power on. This brings up the startup manager. Click on your hd. Click on right arrow key.
You need to figure out the level of your firmware before installing 10.2 or greater. ( The PC name for firmware is BIOS. ) Installing 10.2 with a down level firmware will most likely make your iMac unusable and difficult to fix.
What is firmware?
The firmware software receives control when you poweron your machine. It does some hardware testing and some hardware configuration then passes control to your version of Mac OS. It reside on a PROM ( program read only memory ) chip on the logic board.
Figuring out what level of firmware you have?
Open Firmware, boot into Open Firmware.
