Keep getting a read only message and have to save with different name

I am editing some pdf files, and every time I save I get the message: "The file may be read only, or another user may have it open.  Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
However, when I right click the file and click properties, it is not listed as a read only file.  Nor is the directory read only.   Having to save each file as a different name is driving me nuts.   Is there a fix?

Is this file saved on a network drive, or a shared folder?
If so, it's possible someelse in the network has it open at the same time as you.

  • Suddenly I keep getting "Problem Loading Page" message and have to reload and/or retry or go back in order to get to the page I'm looking for. This happens on all websites sometimes.

    It just started happening a couple of days ago.

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password

    I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password"  This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions. 
    Tricia

    I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
    Did it ever work?
    Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.

  • I keep getting the itunes update message and when I accept the terms and conditions it just keeps going back to tell me I have 3 updates itunes, safari and icloud and goes back to accept message without actually downloading?

    What is going on with itunes update?  I keep getting the message that updates are available for itunes, safari and icloud, but when I accept the terms and conditions and the install 3 items message, it keeps going back to telling me there are 3 updates available and have to accept terms and conditions again without it ever installing!! I am using a PC with windows vista.  Have not had this problem till December when I got an ipad and had icloud installed, don't know if there is a connection.

    I can't offer any help but it soulds like Apple goofed with the latest update. Many of us have the same problem. I may wait a week or so to see if Apple responds.

  • I am having trouble downloading purchase, I keep getting an authorize computer message, I have tried all of the support suggestions and have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes to no avail.

    I have tried everything the support page suggests, checking ID, deleting SC file, changing account allowances in windows, I have even uninstalled and reinstalled itunes....I am at a loss for what else to do.

    "itunes did not download properly; please reinstal."
    What's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • After my windows 7 computer did automatic updates, everytime I click on a link I get a not responding message and have to wait almost a minute for the program to continue.

    Last night, my computer running Windows 7 premium home edition downloaded some automatic updates. I came in this morning to find that it had done a restart after adding these updates.
    Now, anytime I click a link or do something which requires a redirect to another web page, my program gives me the not responding message and I have to wait 30-55 seconds for the program to continue.
    I have Firefox 4 and it was running smoothly up until this morning, so I can only assume that whatever the automatic updates were, there is something in them that is causing this error. I do not know what updates were installed.

    I don't have that problem in Firefox 29 when I read Gmail or AOL (aim''.''com) webmail. When I click on a webpage link in an email I'm reading (example: http://www.tworivertheater.org/ ) the link opens in a separate Firefox tab.
    Are you saying this doesn't happen in outlook''.''com webmail and the link opens in the same Firefox tab as the email itself? I don't use outlook''.''com webmail myself. Hopefully someone will be along who does, or see [[Problems with email and how to find help]].
    It might help if you would confirm the type of link that is opening in the same tab as the email you are reading in your outlook webmail. If I misunderstood your problem, please explain it better.
    It might also help if you could furhish more troubleshooting information. Please do the following:
    *'''For Firefox 29.0 and above''': Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    *At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
    *Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

  • Error: potentially vulnerable to CVE-2009-3555 (facebook). I keep getting kicked out of Facebook and have to re log in

    When in Facebook, I keep getting a window that I'm not logged in if I am on the site for about 10 minutes. I checked the error console and it told me that there is a possibility of being vulnerable. I cleared cookies and caches and also changed my password and restarted, but it's not helping. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I also got the vulnerability error for Delicious bookmarks, so I disabled it. I'm on a Mac with the latest upgrade.

  • How do I get rid of my desktop and have fios wirelessly with a new laptop?

    My desktop is useless to me and is taking up way too much space.  What are the steps I need to take to ditch the desktop and have everything wireless (2 laptops)?

    The steps? It's really just a matter of buying the laptops and then connecting them wirelessly to the router using the provided key and SSID which is on a sticker somewhere on the router (while setting up the PC, Windows PCs will ask you for this info as one of the optional steps), and then transferring any data over to the laptops if you're getting rid of the desktop. No need to install any special software to get it working other than the usual assortment of Windows Updates. What I would do however, is change the default wireless security of WEP to WPA2-PSK AES on the router via the desktop, which not only is far more secure but is in fact a little faster due to the way it works. For Wireless N should you so happen to get one of the very new routers Verizon has, WPA2-PSK AES is a requirement.
    Anyhow, just remember that for FiOS, I wouldn't suggest running anything bandwidth heavy over the wireless. G won't be able to handle anything higher than 24Mbps on average if you're lucky, and also keep in mind the radio works on a shared bandwidth system (meaning 54Mbps theoretical shared amongst everything on it, less if there's lower speed links) on a half-duplex connection. If one device is eating the bandwidth up or has a slower link, everything slows down.

  • Photos. They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. Copied them (hours and hours) to external hard drive. They are now in alphabetical order (19,000  of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order-and have been taken with different cameras- help!!!!!!

    Photos.
    They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. There are 19,000+ of them, some rescued from a pc crash- which I used the nifty iPhoto to put back into date order.    
    I want to take them all off my laptop, now............as I need to use it for WORK!!
    Copied them (hours and hours) to another external hard drive.
    They are now in alphabetical order (all 19,000+ of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order. (-They have also been taken with different cameras over the years and some of the generic camera numbering remains.)
    I have tried to copy them (only a few as an experiment)  one event at a time, but that again "opens up" the Event "folder" and tips them out as individuals and therefore just lists image letters and numbers alphabetically.
    How can I copy
    the whole library still in  "Events" to an external hard drive?
    the folders/albums I have already made on to this hard drive?
    and how can I add to this back up monthly, again keeping events and folders separate and updated?
    Mac is so user friendly - there must be a way.........
    Thanks

    UPDATE : I have re-installed from disk, various apps that were no longer functioning such as iLife, iWork etc. So, I now can access my photos again.
    Also, I had to re-install all the software for my printer ( Stylus Pro 4880 ) and reset it so the printer is working again.
    Photoshop CS4 won't open. I think I will have to get in touch with Adobe as basically, I guess they have a built-in "blocker" which prevents me from opening the app as the license is for only 1 user and having re-installed the OS, there are now, in effect, 2 users ( Me and Me 1, I think ).
    So, having added on a new external HD, Time Machine has made a copy of most of the files, folders, apps etc onto the external HD. The internal HD is still nearly full ( 220 GBs out of 232 GBs ).
    I am guessing the way to go now in order to free up space on the internal HD is to delete/trash older photos from my iPhoto library and hope that if needed, I will be able to access them on the external HD.
    Am I correct ? Please advise before I do something I will regret.
    Thanks, Sean.

  • I have a ipad 3 with ios 5.1.1 and it will not update to ios 7. I keep getting a software failed message and the download takes 13 hours and stops half way through. Any help?

    I have an ipad 3rd gen with ios 5.1.1 and I can not update it to ios 7. It will take 13hours and when I try it stalls out halfway through and says software update failed. I have tried everything. Any help?

    it actually needs more space than that.  The file size is your 65 mb is probably the ota incremental file size.  The full package is 700 mg, and the system needs 3 gig of free space to unpack and install.
    There is a fairly good discussion here

  • When using explorer i keep getting a firefox dowload message and tab after tab opens with a conduit message?

    When NOT using Firefox but using Netscape for work, a new tab keeps opening prompting a CONDUIT dialogue. You can't close them as they keep opening.

    Conduit sounds like it could be the maker of various "community toolbars." You could check the Add/Remove Programs control panel to see whether you have any of those installed.
    You also could try some spyware scanners to see if they uncover any issues. These two tools are highly regarded (and free):

  • I keep getting the Error 16 message and i went through the Security Setup that Adobe has put in place

    and i am still getting the error. Why am i unable to talk with a tech person so i can get this matter fixed. I am trying to run a high dollar company

    This most certainly is not a free version of software - I am a Xerox employee that has downloaded this to work in conjunction with our Makeready system software, through one of your download sites. I need to get this up and running as soon as possible

  • Why do I constantly get "DNS lookup error" messages and have to reload a page 5-10 times before it will actually load?

    This seems to be happening more and more frequently. I am running Firefox 23.0.1 on Mac OS 10.8.4. It even happens on the Mozilla support page. It used to happen every so often; now it happens at least 50% of the time.

    Try to disable IPv6 in Firefox (network.dns.disableIPv6 = true).

    You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.

  • Backup failure, read only message

    I've been using a time capsule for about 6 mo. Recently I have been getting a backup failure message from Time Machine, saying that the backup volume, my Time Capsule, is read only. I reset the Time Capsule settings and still am having problems. Does anyone know why I would get a "read only" message about the Time Capsule?

    I'd run /Utilities/Disc Utility and re-format it yourself, it most likely came formatted for PC not Mac ...
