Issues Saving Files

Everytime I want to save a file I've updated it asks me to save it as a new document, rather than just updated what's open. Incredibly frustrating. How do I stop this?

It sounds like you've opened a "foreign" file not a Pages file made with the version you are using. The prompt is to save it as a Pages file. If you don't you will get the warning. If you're going to use Pages to edit other file types, such as Word, save it as Pages & then export the file to Word or whatever when you're done editing.

Has anyone else had issues saving files should hard drive issue force reinstall of Story?

In theory there should be a way to protect one's work offline to one's local hard drive. No one has told me what I've done wrong, nor what to do to get files back. I saved frequently to an external hard drive, saved using the procedure of "save now", i did not get any cautious messages "you need to save while online as cache or file suffixes will not or cannot save to the local drive" nor any variation. Curiously no one wants to talk to me to help resolve. Anyone out there who wants their work only temporarily saved unless online? Please reply to this thread. Thank you.

Issues saving files from LR4 in CS6

I just installed CS6 on a new computer, i7 and plenty of everything. Also has windows 8, yuck. On my previous computer running a different ps but the same Lr version, I had no issues. But saving images is a nightmare. I shoot in raw, so my files are large. From within Lr, to bring a photo in tiff format over to ps, edit, save, it will take minutes PER photo. Yet bringing the same raw image into ps via bridge, it saves fine...still a bit slow, but not even close to the lag. Same issue whether it is psd or tiff.
There is no software on my computer other than cs6 and lr4.2, no antivirus, nothing except the other garbage that comes with win 8. I think that because I can't find anything on this issue, it must be due to win 8 as the OS and it is causing a disconnect between Lr and ps.
Please help ASAP, I was on chat with someone who was clueless. Thank you...

Issues Saving Files; Excel 2013

Users are unable to save files using Excel 2013 (both .xls and .xlsx) to network share space. the return is "Someone else is working on 'J:\network space name\filename' right now. Please try again later". There are no other users
currently using the file in question and Folder and file ACL allows for full control. Users are able to save to their persistent D:\ volume (we are using VMware) but unable to breach the network space. I have full administrative rights and am experiencing
the same results, this includes a newly created file, files for which I have total ownership and files for which i have full control over. This condition is only true for Excel 2013, Office and other Suite applications are functioning well within tolerance.
This condition originally manifested when we first rolled out the MSFT Office 2013 image but subsided when we modified Trend Micro so that it would not scan edited files. After that it would only manifest occasionally and to single or a couple of users but
has now returned to being global. Any ideas as to how to remedy this would be greatly appreciated.

The blog post speaks to an error message that is not what my users are seeing. There is no reference to files being 'locked', rather it suggests that another user may be viewing the same file precluding a save action. Initially we believed it was related
to an issue caused by .TMP files but as it turned out a refresh of AV baseline policy relieved the condition. So it may have been a cache issue and how the AV was handling the temporary file but details behind causality could not be determined beyond refreshing
the base policy.
Thank you for your suggestion though, I appreciate the consideration.

Issue saving files as PDF

I have Windows 7 on my computer. I had to recently restore Windows on my computer and since then I can save Word documents as PDFs. Please assist.

Yes I think I understand the problem and I believe it is expected behavior and I will explain.
You must convert the images to cmyk in photoshop first before placing them in Illustrator or convert them after but since they are linked the conversion has to take place in photoshop by using the link panel to edit the original.
Now it should work as expected but I did this without the using a black key line on the rectangle I used for my clipping so once you have the rectangles position if you still find you have this problem then go bak and redo the clipping mask without the black stroke.
This is my result in Acrobat with the images converted to cmyk so I am positive you stated with RGB and did not convert before placing.
As you can at 6400% magnification it is fine. This is the top edge of the two butted images when saved as pdf after converting the files to cmyk in Photoshop. PDX 1a supports CMYK.
This is what it looks like when using the inked files when they are rgb

Dreamweaver 8 - Issue saving to Mac partion from Windows

I just bought an Intel Mac, which I'm running Windows on
using Bootcamp (as all my Adobe software is for Windows). I use a
software called MacDrive, so when I'm working in Windows I can
access files saved on the Mac partion. But I'm having issues saving
files in Dreamweaver to the Mac partion. Everything appears to save
correctly, until I go back and open the file, and see that the end
of the file will have leftover data in it from the previous save.
For example, if I remove two lines of code from an HTML file, then
when I re-open the file, I'll have a duplicate set of
</body></html> tags leftover from the previous version
of the file. I do not have this problem when editing and saving
files to the Mac partion using Notepad or any other Windows
program, only Dreamweaver.
Has anyone here had a similar problem? If so, were you able
to fix it somehow? If not, would you be willing to help me contact
Adobe to get this issue solved? Thank you for your time.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but since you mentioned a
cross-grade I
have a question. I will be making the move from being PC
based to MAC based
in the next 6 months. Since I will be replacing my aging dell
laptop with
an imac pro, my next desktop purchase will be mac as well
With the current CS3 I will just be running in parralels, but
I asked about
when cs4 comes around if I could just upgrade to the mac
version. I was
told by a cs rep that this is not possible I would have to
purchase a fresh
install. Is this not correct, is there a way around it?
thanks,
randy

Issue with Saved File Icons

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with the icons for saved files in Premiere CS6 and After Effects CS6.
I've just recently made the transition from 5.5 to 6 and so far everything has been hunky dory. However, today I found that my system wouldn't recognise the saved files from Premiere, AE and Photoshop. So I right clicked on them and chose 'open with', found the correct programs and tried it that way. Photoshop worked fine, but Premiere and AE now have icons that, basically are a white square with a small 'PR' and 'AE' in the centre (same as the exe files). These icons do open up their corresponding projects, there is no issue with that, it's just a bit annoying. the only thing I did today was uninstall my CS 5.5 versions and download some AE templates from Adobe.
Anyone know of a way to reset the icons so they have their original look?
Cheers
John

I did today was uninstall my CS 5.5 versions
It's not a good idea to uninstall older versions after a newer version installed. Things to tend to get messed up. Always uninstall the old ones first.
Try reinstalling CS6.

hey guys, so I have a DVD stuck in the CD drive on my mac. It reads it as being in there, but I cannot eject it and it is causing my a lot of issues with my mac. If i try to eject it, Finder acts up and I have issues saving projects or even browsing files. I feel like it interferes with iPhoto as well because it says it is locked and I have no rights to view it. I wanted to see if anyone else had/s this issue and how you fixed it before lugging it into the apple store and being without a computer for a few weeks...

Saved File Groups Issue in Bridge Center - script problem?

Hi all,
I tried posting this in the Bridge forum with no replies. After browsing through this forum I'm wondering if this is a script problem?
I have the CS2 premium, and use all packages. The problem I have is saving and retrieving files in the 'Saved File Groups' of Bridge Center. I can save Photoshop files no problem, but the idea is to be able to save other files from open applications in the group and then to recall them later. I can save Illustrator files with others in a group but only Photoshop files open, and it ignores the saved Illustrator files.
With my InDesign files, it does not even recognise them as files to be saved. I can have a file open, click on "Save open files into a file group" and it will come up with a little box saying there are no open files to save!
OS - XP sp2. Bridge 1.0.2
If this can be helped with scripting, please explain clearly, I am a graphic designer and no very little indeed about scripting.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Thysje Arthur

Hi,
Do you mean that Windows displays “Network Shortcuts” folder when you click “Browse” icon? If so, please check if you configure the default local file location to the “Network Shortcuts” folder. You could refer to the image below to find the option of the default

Saving file to network location

Hello all of you,
I encounter an issue with InDesign CS5 when it comes to opening and saving files to a network location. I added my company's ftp server to Windows 7 and it appears correctly in the My computer overview (there's an additional line besides the hard discs, DVD player, et cetera). The connection to the server functions fine, no issues here. No problem exists when opening files from this server from within InDesign; I can do whatever I want. Only when I try to save a file the network location isn't displayed anymore within the My computer overview in the InDesign "Save as" dialog box. The network location however appears in the pull-down menu at the top of the dialog box (and nested as part of My computer ...), but when I pick it there, it won't show the context of the server. Additionally logging onto the server (it's IP-based and anonymous logon) doesn't change a thing. Trying to save in the empty server space InDesign returns a "Can't save here" error message.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Building the document locally and then copying back to the server isn't a solution, because all external content that is linked in the document resides on the server.
Best regards,
Luc Peulen

Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Building the document locally and then copying back to the server isn't a solution, because all external content that is linked in the document resides on the server.
Scott is basically right. Lots of ID users work over network connections without issue, but if something is going wrong, it's the first place to look. I wouldn't have thought it possible to work in InDesign over a FTP connection!
If you can get Windows to access that server as if it were just another drive (using "Map network drive" in Explorer) then it should work normally. However, a generic Adobe phone tech wouldn't help you figure out why it wouldn't work - there are simply too many variables in a network environment for a generic first-level tech to figure out.
In the short term, the only solution I can suggest is:
Retrieve all of that external content that is linked in the document, and the InDesign document, at the same time, & store it on your local hard drive.
Do your work.
Save & package.
Upload the entire package back to the server.
Long-term, you'd need to talk to your own IT staff to troubleshoot the connection between your workstation and the FTP server. If you can get information about your network from them to post here, I bet that someone will make suggestions to pass on to your IT staff that will actually work.

CS6 & OSX 10.6.8 - saving files directly to the server does not work (most of the time)

Hi there,
we just switched from OSX 10.5.8 to 10.6.8
OSX was installed on a new partition of the harddisk
Then installed CS 5
Then installed CS 6 via (adobe creative cloud)
With CS6 we got also the problem with saving files to the server (program error)
It happens mostly with photoshop, sometimes with Illustrator.
I read a lot of posting regarding the same problem but didn´t found a real solution yet.
I am also wondering that there seems to be no solution for this now, because most of the posting i read are 1 year old.
Working locally is not really an acceptable workaround for us or anyone who needs to work with Creative Suite in a professional way.

Problem Saving Files CS5

After years of no problems I am suddenly having a problem saving files. This started with CS4 a few months ago, and has continued with CS5.
When I attempt to Save As... I get an error message:
Could not save as "{location & filename}" because the file is already in use or was left open by another application.
The only place the file could be considered "in use" or "left open" would be due to Bridge.
I get this error message whether saving as jpg, psd or any other file type. If I retry saving the file then it will usually save properly after several attempts. But if I close Bridge then it will save the first time every time. I get the same error whether saving as the original file name or with a new name.
I have been using Bridge to preview and select the images I want to edit for a very long time. But this problem didn't start showing up until a short time ago, so I wonder about a problem introduced with an update?? Those who use Bridge know that it remains running in the background while the image is processed through Camera RAW and PS. There has never been a reason to close Bridge when working in PS and it is not very convenient to do so just to save a file.
If anyone has a solution to this I would like to hear about it.
Thanks,

Hi Jimcarke,
My problem is very similar. Just Upgraded to CS5 from CS4.
Graphic files, no problem. I can save 80Mb and 30 layered mixed graphic files, even after editing.
No JPEG's in the stack though. Perhaps I'll have a look at that!
With simple JPEG's at 1.9mb, after editing, then as soon as I enter 'Save As,' Bingo the great blank screen'
Problem seems worse if I get as far as rotating the image, then everything disappears instantly.
Customer services have suggested all the usual remedies and now I can't open a file or edit anything
I'm back to the insufficient RAM issue.
I've just 'given up' and back to CS4 again and will try to get some work done for the morning.
All good fun and an interesting way to spend a very sunny Sunday afternoon. (GB)

John

Windows 7 + Office 2007 & 2010 VERY slow saving files to on 2008 R2 files shares

OK I have litterally tried everthing in every forum there is to resolve this. It is only happening on our Win 7 workstations that are running Office 2007 or 2010. Our file shares are on a 2008 R2 server. Opening and saving files on the shares using
Office is very slow. I have tried updates and server and workstations are 100% up to date. The server is only running as a file share server. Nothing else on it. We have completely set up new PC's to test with clean Win 7 installs and nothing else except Office.
Nothing else on the network is slow at all. I have tried all the hotfixes in the world that could relate to this from many hours of research into possible causes. I have done the EnableShellDataCaching fix, the SMB 2 disable fix, the windows search/indexer
fix, the pdfmaker fix, the lookup wizard add-in fix, the go to the newest firmware on the cisco switch fix, update workstation nic driver fix, the Trusted Locations in Excel fix, and about a dozen other fixes. NOTHING WORKS! This has brought our Win 7
and Office 2007/2010 users to a halt in their ability to do their jobs. Our company is suffering badly. And did I mention that our IT dept is getting a lot of heat and criticism about it. FYI we are running an IBM E5450 with dual multi-thread
multi-core(8) 3 Mhz Intel Xeon processors with 2008 R2 64-bit, 12 GB ram, and the server is using litterally no resources. Network connected is Gigabit. This has to be a Microsoft issue with 2008/Win 7/Office 2007&2010. This has become a nightmare for
out IT dept and has consumed weeks of our time when we need to be working on other projects. Can anyone solve this. Microsoft: Please release a REAL fix for this that we can run on the server or push via GPO to the workstations.

Hi,
Take a look at this and see if it helps:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
also
Office 2010 components, such as Word 2010?
At this time, I suggest trying to start Excel in safe mode. Then, open the Excel file or create a new Excel file, and save the file to the network again.
Start the Excel program in safe mode
1.       Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to Microsoft Office.
2.        Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Microsoft Excel.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Excel program, we can try to disable them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Excel program:
Disable add-ins
Click File menu, click Options > Add-in, click Go button in the Manage: Com-in Add.
Check if there are any add-ins, clear the checkbox to disable them.
Close the Office program and restart it.
Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In, restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
====
Is the performance also slow when you trying to save the Excel file to other network path?
At this time, we can also try to test this issue in the clean boot mode.
Test in Clean boot Mode
===============
Let’s disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:
1.       Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.
2.        Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3.       Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This should not affect the system or other programs. We may still manually run these programs later.
What’s the result now?
How to return from the Clean Boot state
After the troubleshooting, we can return from the clean boot state:
1.       Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.
2.       On the "General" tab, click "Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services".
3.       Click OK. Click Restart when you are prompted to restart your computer.

Cmmd + O opens saved files as "Untitled."

In CS4, when I open a file via CMMD + O, the file opens as "untitled." The same result exists when opening a file via menu. However, if I select the file in the Finder folder and right click to open in Fireworks, the saved file's name is retained. — I was wondering if there is a fix for this issue.

Deselect the Open as Untitled option, and open a file. After that, all
files will open with their original file names.

I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field(prefix only) while saving files.

OS: WinXP sp3
FF: 3.6.3
I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field (prefix only) while saving files. example: File name is Pic123.jpg and I want to rename it ABC123.jpg and I have ABC loaded into the WinXPsp3 clipboard. When I highlight\right-click\delete "Pic" then attempt to paste the ABC, I get either no reaction, or upon multiple paste attempts, the ABC is appended to the end of the file, after the extension, as "Pic123.jpgABC". If I delete this unwanted suffix, or repeat the process several times, eventually I can delete the unwanted portion of the prefix and paste the desired text. Sometimes it works fine first try, but mostly it takes several tries. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 but the problem existed in whatever previous version I had too. This issue only occurs when using the delete/paste; I can always manually change the name by typing. Thank you for your help.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
