"Movie could not be saved" error

I use a different User to create Quicktime movies than I use to edit the movie. I copied the movie to a secondary drive. I open and play them on the editing User. But when I try to save (a reference file), I get the following error:
The movie could not be saved.
You do not have sufficient permissions for this operation.
I ran "Disk Utility" to repair permissions. Repairs complete. No weird errors. It read: Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .
ACL found but not expected on ".vol".
ACL found but not expected on "Volumes".
ACL found but not expected on "cores".
ACL found but not expected on "Network".
I made sure the Quicktime movies' Info window has all the users in it for "read and write"
I still get the same error. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I don't like to edit on the other User account because of the way files are organized. I never had this problem with Tiger.

Whoops. It appears that I had the files in a folder created by the first User account--which had restricted permissions. I changed permissions for that folder and now I can save! Sorry to bother.

Document could not be saved error

Whenever I go back to a PDF that I created or downloaded, and add comments or highlights, and then try to save it, I get an error message saying "The document could not be saved. The file may be read only . . ." But the file is NOT read-only and there are NO security settings. What gives?

I am a heavy user of Adobe Acrobat. Every time we edit a PDF file and click on the save button to save the document it comes up with an error message. I spent hours researching the issue and talked to their tech support people and reluctantly followed their suggestions to the effect of closing the preview pane to no avail. The only I have found that works is to close the Windows Explorer window and then save the document. Even if I move the file selector to a different folder or file it does not work.
This absolutely one of the most ridiculous bugs that Acrobat has ever had and it seems they are putting their heads in the sand and not addressing it. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNCONSCIONABLE TO HAVE SUCH A BUG ACROSS SO MANY VERSIONS (v. 9-11) OF A SOFTWARE AND NOT HAVING IT FIXED.
Adobe wants people to close the Windows Explorer every time there is a slight change to a PDF file and for us to reopen it over and over again. This is absolutely ludicrous and absurd.
Arrogance and cockiness of Blackberry people cost them their business, deal with this bug before you become another Blackberry.

The document could not be saved error when Saving to a SharePoint Document Library

I am having an error when opening and commenting on Adobe PDF's that are stored in SharePoint 2010. When I attempt to save a PDF I have commented on I get the following error:
The Document could not be saved. The server said:
"The operation failed because an unexpected error occurred. (Result code: 0x80020005)"
This seems to happen in a Document Library that is based on a custom template with Managed Metadata columns, when we remove the columns it seems to work and when we create a library with a standard document library template and manually add the manage metadata columns it also works fine.
We would make this change to all document libraries where this issue occurs however this template is applied to 100's of libraries with thousands of documents stored in them. Is there anything we can look at to attempt to resolve this issue?
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. documents seem to work fine in these libraries.

Hi quodd,,
We are sorry for the issue being faced by you. I need some information from you so that I take further steps:
1. Which Adobe product are you using Acrobat or Adobe reader- what is the complete version?
2. How are you opening and saving the PDF, the exact workflow?
Are you doing it from within Adobe Reader/Acrobat application or opening it from browser, doing changes and saving it using browser itself.
3. Can you try to save a PDF to library with Custom template and managed metadata columns using browser directly.
4. Please verify that columns name do not contain spaces or some other special characters.
Can you try to save PDF to library with Custom template and just a single managed metadata column with a simple name
Thanks,
Nikhil Gupta

Document could not be saved error while using BAPI_BUSPROCESSND_SAVE

Hi All,
I am using BAPI_BUSPROCESSND_CHANGEMULTI and BAPI_BUSPROCESSND_SAVE to change the status of the CRM Service Order.
The BAPI_BUSPROCESSND_CHANGEMULTI is working fine without any errors, in return table(zero entries), so after this I call the BAPI_BUSPROCESSND_SAVE with save_frame_log = 'X' and update_task_local = '' with the objects_to_save having the guid.
I get an error 'document could not be saved' but still the service order is having the status, which I try to update, in the Item details.
I had gone through the forums, for similar kind of error, and did not find any concrete solution for this error.
Could you please let me know how to rectify this error.
Regards
Sunil Kumar P

Hi Sachin,
Still the same error.
I had debugged the code and found that the FM 'CRM_EVENT_PASS_INFO_EXE_OW' called internally is failing to generate the events required for save.
The next step of this is deleting the objects to save and inturn , the error.
The events are filled based on entries in table 'gt_plan_exets' in the FM, but for me the table is blank.
I tried to find how this table is getting filled, but I could not trace it.

"Movie could not be found" error message

Since QT 7.1 some movie files won't play anymore. This occurs on both my machines (a QS 2002 G4 and a MacBook).
I get an error message saying "The movie could not be found". Why?
These files will play nicely with VLC... so there's nothing wrong with the movie files!
Ideas anyone?

This must have happened to more people than just me...
It can't be related to my computer since this happens on every Mac I've tried.
These movie files play nicely with VLC and they did play fine before upgrading QuickTime.

Error message "The document could not be saved. This file is already open" when trying to complete an electronic signature.

Running Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.0. I cannot upgrade to newer version because several applications were already tested on this version.
When trying to complete an electronic signature, my users receive the error message ""The document could not be saved. This file is already open". When they close and open the file again to try to sign again they find a corrupted electronic signature. Instead of a clean signature with the box colored in light blue they see their signature with the embedeed message Click Here to Verify & Sign with the box colored in grey.
We turned off antivirus in the Sharefolder where the forms are stored and nothing. We turned off the antivirus on the client and nothing. We stored the files in another server and nothing. One workaround is saving the file in the desktop, signing it, and then back to the Sharefolder. Another is saving the file with a different file name.
I've searched and the only similar thing was caused by the Windows Preview Pane. See Information Transmogrification: Adobe Acrobat saving a file does not work, displays “File may be read-only”. No luck with this one too.
Is definitively an intermittent problem. The users that experience the problem experience it intermittently.
This started to happen when we move our computers to Windows 7.
Any ideas?

Correction on Question:
This is a web application and the users need to be able to load the editable .pdf form from the website, edit it and submit it back to the website from within Internet Explorer.
Users began getting the error message:
'The document could not be saved. This file is already open.'
last Friday after having no problems prior to this. Some users can edit the editable .pdf forms on the website and save the file with the same name to the website. Some get the error mentioned in the subject.
We really need help getting this resolved.

How do I fix the following error? itunes counld not back up the iphone because the back up could not be saved on the computer?

I updated to iOS 5.0.1 days ago and didn't receive that notification until just now...
This time I synced new photos I took yesterday, and it gave me the:
"iTunes Sync: 54 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"
Perhaps it kicks off when new items get synced.
I've decided to rent a movie yesterday. Once it gets deleted, I'm curious to see if it jumps to 55 items.

Error Message: Mail could not be saved

Just transferred all files from old G4 to new Intel Mac Mini. Mail receives and sends mail without a hitch. However, as I compose messages, I now get a drop down panel that says: Error: The message could not be saved. There are no messages in either the Sent or Draft folders.
My ISP is AOL. Sent messages are stored there, although in Preferences the option to store Drafts or Sent Messages is not checked.

I don’t know what’s going on here. I’d set up Mail again from scratch, check that things work fine, then import your mail back afterwards as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/. Move (not copy) the entire Mail folder out of there, to the Desktop.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop.
4. Open Mail and set it up again from scratch. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and check that everything works fine. Be sure to turn OFF Store messages on the server for all the mailboxes and all the AOL accounts in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
5. You’ll have to re-configure all your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
6. If Mail works fine now and you had any messages stored in local mailboxes, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import your mail from the old Mail folder that’s now on the Desktop.
Given how ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ is organized in your case, I suggest moving the “On My Mac” folder out of there (e.g. to the Desktop), then separately import the resulting “Mailboxes” and “On My Mac” folders.
If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Error: "Document could not be saved"

Hi all!
I regularly receive an error, "Document could not be saved", in OS X after a while of usage. It can come after 10 minutes of usage, or after 10 hours of usage. It affects ALL open applications and documents, and doesn't solve with anything but a restart of the entire system. I haven't found any relation to working with any specific application – it seems to happen at random while using any application. And as I said, it affects the entire system and all applications once it happens.
I've also tried this solution (posted elsewhere), but with no luck:
Restart Lion, and Before you hear the chime, hold down Cmd + R, to access Lion Recovery.
Click the Utilities item in the Menu Bar, then click Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The password reset utility window launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account where you’re having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the Reset button there.
Does anyone know of any other solution to this problem? Or does anyone know the reason for it?
I should also mention that I experienced another problem recently, whereby my computer begun to sometimes (but not always!) show a progression bar at startup. This bar could take between 5-15 minutes to finish. This kept happening for maybe two weeks' time, until finally one day the computer wouldn't startup at all. It would come to show the dark grey Apple logo on the light grey background, and then suddenly shut off before reaching any further. I did a complete wipe out of the hard drive and re-install of the system, and since then haven't experienced the "progression bar"-problem anymore. I read somewhere that this problem could be a sign of harddrive failure or damage, but I still wonder if that is correct. Could the above mentioned "Document could not be saved"-problem also be related to a hard drive damage?
Thanks in advance for your assistance
Regards
Alex

I'm trying to download Firefox 4, but the following message comes up: Downloading/Volumes/firefox/o5we?qDe.part.part could not be saved, because an unknown error has occurred. Try saving to different location. What does this mean?

When trying to download to download Firefox 4, the following message comes up: Downloading/Volumes/Firefox/05weDe.part. could not be saved because of an unknown error. Try saving to a different location. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.4.10. I think I should be able to download Firefox 4. I have Firefox Version 3.6 now.

I am often getting this kind of error, although I believe it's less frequent with Firefox 4 than with the previous version. I do not know a proper solution, but I have noticed this:
* If I simply try to re-download, it will fail again.
* If I clear the list in the download window, I can download the same file without any trouble.
I believe the problem may be related to the antivirus software. The file is downloaded completely, and instead of moving it to the final position Firefox gets confused and deletes it.

Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.
