Pages will not Save or SaveAs b/c "No such file or directory exist"

Have been using Pages for years, and this problem blocking save/save as just popped up. Now can’t save or save as some files; instead get warning that “No such file or directory exist.” Inconsistent. Some files can be saved w/o problem.
Changed name of file several times. Found nothing in Help or in Discussions. Running Pages 4.3. Thanks

Is there an a/b/c directory in the structure where you are starting your java program from?

Pages will not save unless iWork purchased?

I purchased Pages and Keynote back in January (its now June) yet, I did not need Numbers so I did not just simply purchase iWork. I randomly updated my computer (none of the updates had anything to do with Pages/Keynote), and then all of the sudden Pages will not let me save or export documents. It says I have to purchase iWork to continue using Pages and Keynote (WHICH I PURCHASED). Basically, it wants me to purchase iWork to use apps I already purchased. It says I did a 30 day trial for iWork, but I bought Keynote and Pages, not a trial for everything! So fustrating. Thank you for any advice!

Courtney,
That iWork trial will continue to plague you until you remove all traces of it. If I had that problem and lived close to an Apple store, I'd take it in and ask them to fix it, just to make a point.
Yvan Koenig has created a script that efficiently purges the trial and all its plist files. It's easy to find a link to his online storage files to grab the script.
You'll find a description of the manual removal process here:

[i3][startx] i3: Could not mkdir(/run/user/0/i3): No such file...

Here is the full output:
i3: Could not mkdir(/run/user/0/i3): No such file or directory
i3: Check permissions of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR = '/run/user/0'
xinit: connection to X server lost
waiting for X server to shut down
(EE) Server terminated successfully (0).
I installed Arch in VirtualBox and installed i3.
I'm running VBox on a Macbook Pro 9,1 (Os X 10.10)
I'm not sure of what to do.
# ~/.xinitrc
# i3 wm
exec i3

i3 usually creates tmpfiles in /tmp. The problem is probably due to trying to run it as root, as prograndy mentioned.

Will not let me save a new word processing on iMac, says: "untitled.pages-tef" couldn't be opened.

Opened new blank document in PAGES. Went file/save, normal SAVE window comes up. I fill it out and then it will not let me save says: "untitled.pages-tef" couldn't be opened. It is opened.

Hi Judy,
See "More Like This" to the right of your message. A Google search is often better. I found this with a web search for Pages tef

Safari will not let me save pdf

im not sure but Safari 5.1.5 will not let me save pdf?

A couple of thoughts. It appears there may be two issues--one is saving a PDF that Safari has loaded in the browser window, while the second (which is the one John was talking about) is saving a standard HTML page as a PDF document.
For the PDF loaded in Safari: Is it possible you might have loaded up a third party PDF ready (like Adobe Acrobat Reader) that might have installed itself to handle PDFs in Safari? I've not checked, but wonder if that might disable the "normal" Safari options that would be available with Preview.
If the PDF is displayed, you should get a black box at the bottom of the window if you place the mouse cursor there while Safari has focus. While not perfect, if you select the far right icon it will save the PDF to your Downloads folder. If you select the second from the right, it will load the PDF into a stand-alone instance of your standard PDF reader and from there you would be able to save the file anywhere you want using a Save As command in the reader.
For HTML to PDF--that is controlled with the Print command, using the option at the lower left of the print dialog to print to PDF (which is the menu John showed you). That works for all files *except* PDFs (since printing a password protected PDF to a new PDF would effectively strip the password and would also strip out other features of the PDF, you aren't allowed to print PDFs to PDF).

Photoshop Elements 12 will not let me save files edited on a usb flash drive, but will photos on the hard drive all other apts will on the flash drive

Photoshop Elements 12 will not let me save files edited on a usb flash drive, but will photos on the hard drive all other apts will on the flash drive

Thanks for the information and your help. I have never bothered before changing the format. Next time I will.
I copied the library to the external drive and then it went and said they were referenced files but I was okay about that. Now it cannot see them and will not do anything with them. I think I will buy another external drive and start again by importing all of my files again. I guess 55K will keep the mac busy this week.

My Mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes

My mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes, this includes saving in photoshop and uploading photos to Facebook. The dialog boxes do not appear - please help?

Since you're running Lion, just try a new system install - it won't affect your data or apps, but you should, anyway, have a backup regardless.
Boot to your Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting. At the Recovery window, first repair permissions again, then verify and, if necessary, repair your hard drive. Then quite Disk Utility and elect to reinstall the OS anew - it will only overwrite system files and the like, not touching your data, apps, etc. It may take awhile to complete.
After completion, reboot and see if the problem still exists. If it does, I'm just at a loss...

Iphone 4s on ios7 will not open or save ics email attachment

My iphone 4s on ios7 will not open or save ics email attachments so I can update my calendar. I have to open them on my PC and then iCloud will sync my updated calendar across all my devices with no problem. However, when I don't have access to my PC I would like to be able to open the ics calendar item (or save it) on my iPhone so I can see what meeting or conference I have been invited to so I can reply promptly and keep my calendar up to date without needing to wait till I have access to my PC.

The exact same thing described above is happening me too and by the looks of this and other forums, its happening alot of people.
I have tried restoring from new and a DFU restore and nothing works.
Think Apple need to own up that this is a real flaw with the iPhone 4 and offer a repair or recall.

When I close firefox it warns me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is cancel or OK.

This just started. When I close firefox it warns me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs are going:-( This happens every time now. I know how to get my old tabs back but every time I close Firefox it always warns me that I am closing multiple tabs.
Tanks for helping me get me Firefox working correctly again

Do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the "Browsing History".
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

How can I get back my Word docs now that Pages will not open them?

How can I retrieve my Word docs now that Pages will not open them in Mavericks. I have a brand new iMac with my evolving manuscript for a book transsferred from my now defunct MacBook Pro by external drive. Pages tells me that "PowerPC apps are "no longer supported" and Mavericks will not open Microsoft Office, though it is still in Applications. Would really appreciate ANY help!

You will have to have an app that will open them first, you can upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 which is an Intel based app then open the docs and retry. Your docs were created with extremely old version of Office for Mac, version 2004!
Another possiblity is using a web based compatible MS Office for Mac app and see if it will open your doc and then save it, then attempt to re-open in Pages.

File won't save - error message is: "...could not be saved. No such file or directory." (?)

File will not save or 'save as' - error message is: "...could not be saved. No such file or directory." File has been save previously. Is this a preference issue or perhaps a permissions issue?

I repeat that everything dedicated to the save process is different.
The app contain two sets of code, one used under 10.6.8, an other one used under Lion.
Here are the two states of the File Menu under Lion.
Compare them to what you get under 10.6.8.
State #1 when the frontmost document was never saved :
The menu item Save is replaced by Save…
No longer Save As… menu item replaced by Duplicate
New item : Revert Document… (disabled)
State #2 : when the frontmost document was saved at least once.
Save… is replaced by Save a Version
Duplicate is always here
Revert Document… is now enabled.
There is an important change in the title bar too.
When a file was edited we get the word Edited on the right of the doc's name. This word is the title of a local menu :

1 sheet with multiple pages will not show various page numbers

I'm having a difficult time differentiating between pages and sheets in Numbers. For example, I have 1 sheet with 5 pages. I am inserting page numbers (done, re-done several times after looking through the forum), but each page will not print with a sequential number (ie. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Instead, each page is 1. When I scroll over the number "1" on, say, page 3, the number 3 shows up. But unfortunately t will not print with anything but page number 1.

I am having a problem that is close to this, when I try and preview my site in browser some of the pages show up as a white and gray blocks only. I can not seem to find any reason or connection to what pages are doing this. The only page that has a video seems to work fine. Its almost acting like the links are broken or something. Any help would be welcomed.
Thanks
Mike

When I go to yahoo with my iPhone 6 the pages will not enlarge when I pinch them but it works on my iPad. Does anyone know what's wrong? Also the same on boyfriends phone he's eith Virgin and I'm with Vodafone do it cant be the providers.

Thanks for the link but none of those described the problem. No error message pops up. It just says "Accessing Itunes Store" but it never actually does. This only occurs when my iPhone is plugged in though.
