Peephole effect bug-- can't save project

I'm using iMovie HD 6.0.3 on both a PPC G4 and an Intel Mac. The video effect Peephole is giving me fits. The preview and settings are really buggy, but even if I manage to apply the effect in an acceptable manner the project won't save. It just shows the Saving progress bar indefinitely. I found some old posts about this but didn't find any solutions and can't reply to them as they're archives. Anyone know anything about this?

Sometimes permissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iMovie starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iMovie and trashing the file com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iMovie. iMovie will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iMovie to function correctly. 25GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iMovie and see whether you still have the problem.

Adobe After Effects CC can't save project on OSX Mavericks

Can not save my projects I have created in Adobe After Effects CC since I have upgraded to Mavericks. Anyone else having this issue?

What you are describing is almost certainly a problem with permissions set for the folder that you're trying to save to.
We've seen the same problem with the preferences folder, so I've been giving this advice a lot:
Set the permissions for the entire /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.0/ folder to be writable.
If that doesn't work, then uninstall After Effects (being certain to choose the option to remove all preferences) and then reinstall it.
This messup of permissions happens when Mac OS doesn't correctly preserve permissions of various folders when you upgrade an operating system, rather than installing the new operating system fresh.

Suddenly can't save project, getting error message. VERY FRUSTRATING!!

I've been working on a project for a client over the last couple of weeks and is nearing completion. Everything was working great, when suddenly I tried saving and I got the error message:
"An error occurred. Please save your work and restart Edge Animate."
Please help, this is very aggravating!
If I have to restart or can't get this problem fixed soon, I won't make the deadline for my client.
I am willing to send the project file to anyone who feels they can help.

Your project is broken on Edge Animate CC (2.0.1). You can try clearing your preferences to see if that clears it up for you:

I'm still working with a developer to see if something weird happened with your project.

Can't render, can't save project - under deadline!

I am working a project that has been going swimmingly for days. Suddenly it's all gone downhill on the day it is supposed to be submitted.
Here are the pieces of the puzzle that I have found so far:
1) I cannot save the project. The message I get says "File error: a file of this name already exists
2) When I try to circumvent that by renaming the project and using "Save project as" I get "General error" with no number to identify it
3) The autosave gets an "access denied" error
4) Nothing will render. Everything is checked in the pull-down menu, preferences trashed, etc. I ran through every fix I could find in these discussions, as they have saved me many times before, but nothing will get it to render. The progress bar flashes up for a split second then disappears.
Any help would be much appreciated! This thing is due in two hours!
Thanks,
JT

This might not work but it's worth a shot. Keep your project open and start a new project. Copy everything in your browser from the current project to the new project and then see if you can save the new project with a different name. This has worked for me in the past on projects that just seem to get corrupted somehow.
Have you recently changed permissions for anything? May want to do a 'Get Info" in Finder on your project file, render location, etc. to make sure you have proper permissions to those locations.

Can't save project, get "operation not allowed" warning

Has anyone else ever experienced not being able to save a project? I'm in a bit of a tricky situation as I can't save my project. When I do, I get a "operation not allowed" warning (see screenshot).
Have tried everything (different project name, different location, etc.) and also checked whether there are any permission / write access issues with my hard disks, but I can copy around files on the disk without any problem.
If anyone has a solution for this would be greatly appreciated, as I'd hate to lose my progress on the project by having to quit without saving
Thanks!
Tim

Not a perfect solution, but definitely helpful and smart Thanks Michael!

Power Pivot Bug: Can't Save Edits to Power Pivot Query without checking Teradata Connection's "Save my password" Option

Sorry you're right, the Office category isn't currently accepting bug reports in which case Olaf's suggestion to use the smiley face is the way to go. In Excel please go to File > Options > Trust Centre > 'Trust Centre Settings...' and check
that the Feeeback Tool is enabled.
If the option is greyed out like this...
... then you should be able to enable it by changing the value of the 'Enabled' registry key from a 0 to a 1 which you will find under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Feedback. You will then need to close all Office applications
and re-launch Excel 2013.
Once the Feeback Tool has been enabled, you should see the smile face(s) in the top right hand corner of the Excel window and be able to send your feedback.
Regards,
Michael

Can't save project as disc image...

Hello
I am trying to save a project and am getting an error when I try to save it as a disc image. It says that there is an error that needs to be fixed before burning.
First off, I must say that I created my own menu screen (thanks to Karsten Schuler's help), so the menu is not standard. I ran thru the DVD preview and everything seemed to link fine. When looking in the components part of the menu, there doesn't seem to be anything extra or out of place, although the menu is where the error shows (red x).
There is no other evident problem with the project - it is within the time limit for a single layer disc (although in the yellow at 111 minutes) and all of the media at the bottom is checked off as OK.
What should I be looking for to fix this problem?
Thanks!

It says, in part: A project can have a maximum of 99 menus, and each menu can have up to 12 buttons (linking to submenus, slideshows, or movies). The number of buttons allowed on a menu depends on the theme you are using.

Can't save projects in iMovie

I keep getting this message:
Cannot Save Changes
Please check the disk to ensure there is enough free space and you have permission to write projects. iMovie will try to save periodically, but your changes will be lost if you quit iMovie before the problem is resolved.
I have already "repaired permissions" in the Utility Disk and it's still not allowing me to save my project.
What can I try next?

Can't Save Projects

I have installed the trail version of Premier Pro, and it won't allow me to save the project to my hard drive. Is this because it it the trial version? If not, how can I do it?

Going back to the earlier part of this thread, I'd like for you to do a test.
Open a New Project. Add something - anything, and then do a Save_As. Only change the file name, and not the extension.
What is the full name of that Project file, including its extension?
When you reopen that test Save_As Project, does it Open fine? Do one more Save_As and maybe just add a "1" to the end of the filename, not the extension. Does this file Open fine?
I'm wondering if Harm's earlier advice of a Repair Install might not be in order, but please run these simple tests first and report.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can't save project? !!!!

I've just finished created an opening for a FCP project and when I go to save the opening it tells me " An error occured while writing this project file (1) "
I hit ok and then it brings up another window " Save - Couldn't save document".
What happened?
What can I do to save and import this into my FCP project?
Cheers,

I have exported the project as a movie file and it saved it that way but when I go to save the project as a Live type project it still gives me the same warning(s).
Can I reopen the project in LT as a movie file and make changes?
I'm concerned about closing the program and not being able to make changes to the project.
Thanks for your help.
Kinda quiet over here.

[Locked: repeating post bug] Can't save jpg due to program error

Saw some answers in a post I now can't locate...
I can save a psd to tiff, but can save nothing to jpg, which gives the message above. It's very annoying. I run Cocktail and Diskwarrior fairly regularly, which usually sorts things like this out, but not this time. I even did a clean install, but the problem isn't fixed. A work-round is to open the tiff in Preview and resave as a jpg, but that's not ideal.
Does anyone know the precise reason for this glitch (I'm fairly sure it's Mac system and not PS)?

document must be RGB 8bit and you will be able to see option . Jpg option will show up .
File->save as
choose :
jpg-> window will open when clik save and then you will see 3 options to choose. baseline , optimize, progressive.
on my settings optimize is default and instead optimize i choose baseline .
It does work for me. try that.

Can I save Projects in their entirety (with photos) for future printing?

Hi - I have 15 iPhoto books that I would like to have printed. I have built these books with photos selected from a group of roughly 12,000 in my iPhoto library. I would like to have the books printed and then archive my photos to DVDs and delete them from my computer in order to be able to load on new photos. Is there any way to export my "Projects" to a DVD such that if, for some reason, one of the books that I had printed got damaged, I could easily reinsert the DVD and upload the project for printing again (with all of the photo and photo edits/cropping fully intact)? Given what I have been able to glean so far, it seems as though there is no mechanism for backing up projects for development say 5 years hence without keeping all of one's photos on a drive together. For me, this is not feasible... Do you have any suggestions? Many thanks for any help you are able to offer!

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

How can i save project at CC 2014 to open in CS6?

I have a project at CC2014, but i need to open this project in CS6. How can i do that?

CC 2014 is not downwards compatible.
You can make a XML and import that into CS6, but only the clips will come over. Rest is lost.

Possible Bug: Can't save editing

Hi, Me and my programmer first setup incontext about 1 week
ago, it was working fine, i could edit, save & publish all
pages, then my programmer updated the website when i had a draft
open, ever since then we both cannot edit any pages except for 1
page, the error comes up saying its not an edible region when my
programmer clearly has them labelled as editible regions, just
wondering has anyone else experienced this issue? we have tryed
creating a new account and re-inviting me back to no avail, is
there a fix to this bug?
Thankyou.

Hi Jared,
I notice that your news page seems to be the only page that
links to the InContext Editing includes and declares the namespace.
Look at the top of the source and compare it to your other pages:
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ice="
http://ns.adobe.com/incontextediting">
<script src="includes/ice/ice.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
Try replacing this in the other pages, and let me know if
this resolves the problem.
Best regards,
Corey
