Problem -How to figure out "message could not be saved" alternate location?

Hmmmm.... what could be causing this?
Does Mail or the computer do an 'auto-save' somewhere when I get the message "The message could not be saved." It's very frustrating as I don't know how to tell if a message has gone, or who it's gone to. It only starting doing this recently; any possible solutions?
I checked autosave (not there). Any other place to look?
I'm concerned because I did not want an email to reply to cc: all and I may have done that unintentionally. Any way to tell if I have egg on my face?
Thanks!!

> The account is Mail (sometimes synced with .Mac) on an outgoing smtp server through Comcast.
Does this mean the account in question is a .Mac account and you are accessing the account with the Mail application as a .Mac type account?
And if yes to both, you are storing Drafts and Sent messages on the server?
If so, your account in Mail is not sometimes synched with the .Mac server - all server stored mailboxes in Mail are automatically synchronized with the server when first launching Mail when connected to the internet and there is no way to turn this off. And when selecting a server stored mailbox in the mailboxes drawer, the selected mailbox is re-synchronozed with the server.
The error message provided does not include or involve the account's Drafts mailbox - it is the account's server stored Sent mailbox only and successfully sent messages are not being saved on the server?

Error: The message could not be saved

I have pop up on the screen, or when i shut down, a message that says: Error: The message could not be saved. What is going on and what should i do?

There are lots of possible explanations if you're using an IMAP server, but I get the error when I'm using POP. Perhaps the new mail.app in Leopard will have sorted it out.

I am getting the error message "could not copy to requested location" to a drive i have been using for over a year... when I do the same thing to another drive - it works just fine. why?

i am getting the error message "could not copy to requested location" to a drive i have been using for over a year... when I do the same thing to another drive - it works just fine. why?

Possibly the drive is full
Possibly the permissions are not set to WRITE permission
Possibly there has been a "user mistake" and you think you are copying to a drive you have been using for over a year but something has accidentally changed and you're copying to a different location

"ERROR the message could not be saved" message appears

Can anyone explain why a "ERROR the message could not be saved" message appears when I'm writing mail? It pops up for no apparent reason?

This error message appears if you have set the text encoding (Message > Text Encoding) to one that doesn't include a "special character" that is in the message.
Example: select "Western (ISO Latin 1)" for your new message. From the Character Pallet (Edit > "Special Characters...") add (by dragging, the insert button, or whatever) the Euro symbol € to the body of your message. Either wait for Mail to attempt to auto-save your message to drafts or try to do so manually.
Because the Euro symbol has no code point in the Western (ISO Latin 1) encoding, the message can't be saved & you get the not-so-informative error message. Change the encoding to Automatic, "Western (Windows Latin 1)," or any other encoding that includes the Euro symbol & the error won't appear.

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.

"Document Domain could not be saved."

Evening folks,
I'm working on a website and I'm trying to save and I'm getting an error that says "Document Domain could not be saved."
A little background.
In mid-may I wiped my drive and re-installed leopard. I reloaded iweb 09 and brought in the domain file from my back up. I was able to save at that point.
I haven't been using iWeb lately because I'm using Rapidweaver more, but I need to work on a site that I have in iWeb.
There currently is a domain file in application support. I tried moving it onto the desktop because I've read that can work, but still no dice.
Any thoughts on how I can get this to save?

Ran in a similar problem now with the 'document Domain could not be saved' message. When I closed and tried to reopen iWeb, the making working area would not open. Got it working again using the following steps:
1. Close iWeb 09
2. Find and renamed the Domain.site2 file to something else while retaining the extension
3. Launch iWeb 09 and force it to create a new Domain.site2 file
4. If iWeb opens up, create a new site and put in something that you can save. HIT SAVE. (at this stage, I did not get an error message).
5. Close iWeb 09
6. Restore the original Domain.site2 file to it's original name. Double-click it to launch iWeb. Hopefully your old iWeb file should work now. Mine did.

I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.

Most likely your phone is carrier locked to a different carrier than the SIM card you're using. It will activate and operate only with the carrier to which it's locked.

HT201210 I can't update my IPAD2 to IOS 6, it fails and I get a message "could not backup the IPAD because the backup could not be saved to this computer--I have tried different computers? Please, anyone have this same issue and figured out a fix? Thank

I can't update my IPAD2 to IOS6. I've tried through ITUNEs. I get a message after IOS6 is downloaded and extracted, to the effect of "could not backup the IPAD2 because the backup could not be saved to this computer." I've tried directly from the IPAD, and by connecting through ITUNES to two separate computgers. Can anyone help? Thank you.

However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

Error Message "The document could not be saved. A number is out of range"

Hello to all,
I'm working on a G5/10.4.11/Illust CS3/Acrobat 9 and use to generate .pdfs from .ais by using "Save as pdf" function. Either with LowRes profile and HighRes profile. My pdfs are sent to PC users that use to post it them for changes. But when they need to save them, they get the message "The document could not be saved. A number is out of range".
I know there was a few subject about that but do you have a recent solution to give me to help avoiding this bug ?
Many thanks in advance !

As a follow to the above, the problem was related to a file transfer. The PDFs in question were being transfered from a Unix platform to a Windows Server. The transfer was defaulting to ASCII or Text and not binary. Apparently this was never an issue with older versions of Adobe Reader. Once the transfer was switched to binary, Reader X was able to view the files with no missing pages. Something was being stripped from the file that Reader X just didn't like.

I've contacted o2, tried all of their suggested updates and changes, reset my phone 3 times and still no luck.
Any help appreciated.

Hi, clara_from_brazi.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend when experiencing this issue. Also, test connecting the external storage device to the computer with another cable as this can be the issue.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.
