I get the Save As dialog when trying to Save, whether using Command-S or File menu

When trying to Save a document, I am presented with the Save As dialog. The file name has a serial number added  to the old file name and the default destination is the Documents file. This happens whether I have tried to save using Command-S or using the Save option in the File menu. This started after I upgraded to Mavericks.

I checked and the files are not stationery pads, Permissions show me as having read and write authority.
But, when I  opened the files from the finder, the problem disappears and they saved normally. I then removed the files from the Dock and re-placed them in the Dock via drag and drop. The problem re-appears and changes will not save normally. Not being able to use the Dock is inconvenient but at least there is a workaround. Thanks for your help! Before declaring victory, I'd like to watch it for a while for other quirks.

    Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  "Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."  What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

  • I get the following error message when trying to download ITunes on my computer running Windows XP - Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple Application Support\CFNetwork.dll

    I get the following error message when trying to download ITunes on my computer running Windows XP - Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple Application Support\CFNetwork.dll

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • I am getting the following error message when trying to open a link to a folder

    "This file is set to be launched by this PDF file. This is currently disallowed by your system administrator."
    Currently I am using Reader 9, I was using Reader 7 earlier today and the link opened the folder with no problem. Nothing has been changed on the PDF file containing the link, nothing has been changed in the link, and if I go to another computer in the office that is still running Reader 7 the folder still opens. I also tried another computer in the office running Reader 9, the folder doesn't open, and I get the same error message.
    Any ideas on how to fix this issue would be great. Thanks

    Hi,
    The issue that you are referring to maybe because of a fix provided by Adobe to prevent any external attacks. The following links may be of help to you:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-15.html
    http://news.softpedia.com/news/Adobe-Finally-Fixes-Launch-Bug-145757.shtml
    To allow certain files of yours to be able to open external files and operate witout restriction, you can try and add the files to the Privileged locations section and the restrictions on the files will be lifted:
    1. Open Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and goto Edit | Preferences
    2. From the Left side pane, goto Security (Enhanced)
    3. Click on Add File button and add the file for which you want the restrictions to be lifted. Click on OK to close the dialogs and relaunch Adobe Reader. This will enable you to open external attachments as well as allow JavaScripts to be executed from the PDF file mentioned.

  • Why do I get "Select Input Method" dialog when trying to open tabs on some sites?

    This is what I'm experiencing with Firefox mobile on an Android tablet.
    On some sites, when I click a button which should open a new tab, I get the "Select Input Method" dialog box. First, I don't know why this dialog is popping up. Second, it is an empty dialog; there is nothing to select, only a heading that says "Select Input Method". When I touch the heading, I get another "Select Input Method" dialog, this time with "Android Keyboard" as the sole item to be selected. It is already selected. Touching it or backing up to dismiss it leaves me on the page I started on. Touching the original button which should open a new tab simply repeats the entire dialog sequence. Backing up from the original, empty dialog, does the same thing.
    Once or twice, by magic or something, I was able to get the page to open the new tab. But I cannot confirm what sequence of selecting or backing up out of the dialogs may have led to the correct behavior.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    kbrosnan,
    Thanks for the reply. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
    My wife is working on a project so I'm a little light on details. Apparently she figured out that her Javascript is calling ShowModalDialog and this was what was causing the Select Input Method dialog to open. I don't fully understand the details but she's looking for a different way to do this. I believe she said she subsequently found out that the Firefiox mobile browser doesn't support ShowModalDialog.
    She's new to mobile web development (and I know nothing about it) so she's kind of feeling her way. If you have a good resource for how the FF Android mobile browser differs from the normal desktop browser, that wouldbe a big help, I think. Otherwise, thanks for you reply and she'll keep plugging away discovering what she needs to change in her program to make it work for mobile.
    Thanks.

  • Why do I get the 'PowerPC code' error when trying to launch an Intel-based app from a CD?

    When trying to launch a Flash-based app from a CD on my Mac Book Pro, I get the "PowerPC apps are no longer supported" error. Yet the app is not built with PowerPC code.
    This also happened with Microsoft Office programs soon after I upgraded to OSX Lion, but someone was able to solve that for me.

    It's just a free disc from a photo magazine, but the app runs fine on a Mac Pro running 10.7.3. Could it be hardware related?
    I have actually asked this on behalf of a reader (I work for the company that makes the magazine) who is experiencing this problem, I just can't find any reason why the error would display in these circumstances. I apologise if this is against the community's usual practise - I just want to sort this guy out!
    The app on the disc is compiled using MDM Zinc, but like I said it runs a-OK on Lion everywhere else.
    Any help would be gratefully received and appreciated!

  • I keep getting the endless blue circle when trying to watch netflix on my macbook pro, despite completely uninstalling/reinstalling silverlight?

    I'm putting this question in the Macbook Pro category because I'm not having this problem on a similar age Macbook Air, both of which are running Lion, so I'm wondering if its not something to do with the graphics card or something else specific to this laptop?  The software suite isn't the same between the two computers, so that could also be an issue, if anyone has any ideas about what software may be interfering.
    The long and short of it is that when I try to watch netflix on my 2011 Macbook Pro, I get the Silverlight blue dots that spin around in a circle in the middle of the screen, and that's it.  I assumed it was a silverlight problem, so I completely uninstalled/trashed the silverlight plugin and all its associated files (having read other forums where detailed command-line instructions were given) and reinstalled, and I still have the same problem.  And it occurs in 3 browsers: chrome, firefox, and safari.
    And here's the real kicker -- I'm running Windows 7 in Parallels.....and when I try to watch netflix on my VM, I no longer get the blue circle....BUT the movies/shows don't play.  I can scroll through the entire show and the current frame will come up, but it will not play --- the play button is depressed (ie, I can only see a pause button) but nothing happens -- it's as if the

    There are several issues for sure you may be dealing with all of which may be related. I would start by saying that you experienced a "Kernel Panic" during the boot camp partition, described in article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1392. I would advise that for the heat issue and the kernel panics in conjunction, may be a good push to get diagnostics at a retail store or apple service provider.
    - - If all this is just a set of resolvable software or small hardware issues, articles http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1388 and http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964 will help surely start tackling these issues, best of luck!

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • Getting the no draw cursor when trying to use rectangle tool

    I am doing assignment 9 (Perspective) in the Adobe Illustrator Classroom in a Book. After setting up the grid as it says, it tells you to choose the rectangle tool and then a grid side from the Plane switching widget, then draw a rectangle. When trying this my cursor changes into the pen with the line thru the circle, not letting me draw. Does anyone have a suggestion for why this is happening? I should be able to hover over the origin of the perspective grid and the cursor should turn to an arrow pointing left indicating that I can draw.
    Thanks in advance,
