Problem saving attachments with longish filenames

We're having a problem saving attachments from Mail that are 25+ characters in length. ie. If we click on the "Save" attachment button in Mail, we get an alert that the file can't be saved because it's too long. We can drag the file to the desktop, but then can't move it without getting the "name is too long" alert. We have to change the name, deleting a bunch of characters. Using HFS+. Anyone have a solution?

When you drag the attachment to the desktop you should be able to click on the file's name then edit it so it's less then 25 characters. Try saving it again after deleting some characters.
We just switched from OS 9.4 to OS 10.4 (Intel) and found that Photoshop did not recognize any of the pics in our folders because we haven't been saving them with the file extension (i.e. jpeg, eps, etc.) We had to open all our pic files then add the extension. Apparently our old Macs could recognize a photo file but our new ones need the extension to be able to read the file. So if your file name is too long it's probably cutting off the extension - your computer won't let you save it until you make room for the file extension at the end.
Hope this helps.

Corrupt attachments with damaged filenames

hi,
i'm experiencing problems when receiving certain attachments. the filenames look like this: 'Archive_17?= =?utf-8?Q?0607.zip?='
if i rename it to 'Archive17_0607.zip' i can open the zip, but the ppt-file inside is damaged.
i had this problem quite a while ago when getting emails from another person, but the problem solved itself somehow.
maybe it has to do something the font-caches. i had weird characters in safari and delete the font-caches with font finagler.
can anyone help?
regards.

Problem Saving PDF with Opacity Masks in Illustrator CS3

I'm having trouble exporting an Illlustrator CS3 file to PDF. I have two layers in the the .ai file that have opacity masks applied. When I save the file as a PDF, the two layers with opacity masks seem to disappear (or they are flattened down to white/100% transparency.) They do not show on screen nor when printing. I've tried opening the saved PDF in Illustrator to investigate, and the layers are still there, but with no opacity mask. Where am I going wrong? I've tried a new file with a simple shape and a simple opacity mask, and it exports fine to PDF. So something is wrong with my file set up, but I can't pinpoint what! I have also tried exporting to various versions of PDF, and nothing works. Help!
Screen cap from Illustrator:
Screen cap of PDF:
Correct (Illustrator) with subtle starburst effect:
Wrong (Acrobat PDf), no starburst!
Thanks for looking!

Not sure what's going on in your file, but it's definately having a problem with the Steaks layer. Trying to release the clipping mask and ungrouping all the layers is having a problem so it might have something to do with the way the streaks layer was built.
Using your file I replaced the streaks layer and put a starburst that's clipped to the icon shape. I've attached two files. One is for Illustrator CC so you can retain the gradient fill on the stroke which is only available in newer versions of Illustrator. The other has the starburst I created expanded so that you can open the file and retain the startburst look.

messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileName);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBody);

mimemessage.setContent(multipart);
Transport.send(mimemessage);

Problems saving image with outer glow as gif

I've created a logo with an outer glow and it looks great as an illustrator file but there are problems when I save it as a gif file. The glow is replaced by a white blob around the logo. Not sure if this has anything to do with it but the image has a transparent background. I'm new to the Adobe suite. Should I be adding the glow in Photoshop or can it be done, and look right, in illustrator?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

GIFs cannot have alpha transparency. So you need to choose the same background color as you use on the HTML page, so that Illustrator can calculate your graphic when saving for web.
PNG can have alpha transparency, but you cannot use the "screen" blend mode in it.

Problem saving queries with calculated key figures

Hello Experts,
I am analyzing this problem since many hours during the last weeks and I don't know, what else to do.
The problem is saving a key user query containing a calculated key figure in the production system (BW 3.5 SP SAPKW35015). The Error 'The query could not be saved due to a problem in transport' occures.
If I exclude the KF from the query, saving is possible, so the calculated KF must be the source of the problem.
The system is set to not changeable, but the 'Object Changeability' of 'Query Elements' in 'RSA1' --> 'Transport Connection' is set to 'Changeable Original'. If I set this option to 'Everything changeable', saving of the query works, but this is not possible in production, because transported standard queries would also be changeable.
For saving queries, die authorization object S_RS_COMP and S_RS_COMP1 is included completely with *, but this does not help.
I also transported the query and the KF again from development system ... no change, same problem.
I found the SAP note 533413, but what does this mean? "This problem can only be solved in the next BW release ..." I heard from colleagues, that BW 7.0 has the same problems.
Does anyone have an idea, how to solve this problem?
I would be very thankful for any reply...
Hannes
Edited by: Hannes Heidrich on Jun 23, 2008 12:07 PM

Thank you for your answer, but I have set the Object Changeability to Everything Changeable and restricted the user with S_RS_COMP. So only certain query names can be used and changed. Experiences from collegues said, that deleting and transporting again would not help.
Best Regards,
Hannes

Problem uploading attachments with Safari 4 & gmail.

I didn't have this problem with the beta, but with the release version whenever I upload an attachment, after I select the file nothing happens.
Anyone else have this problem, or is this a pebcak problem?

Hi
Do you have SpeedDownload or iGetter installed in your system? If so, either uninstall or upgrade to a Safari 4 compatible version.

Problem saving files with different name with DFS installed

I have a server that I have DFS installed and running on. This appears to work fine. There is one problem that I have encountered though:
On a share I have a folder that is not inheriting rights from it parent object. This works fine with DFS. When I create a new word document and try to save it in this folder with a different name other than the default (doc1.doc) I get an error saying that the user doesn't have permission, but I can save it as the default name of doc1.doc. I can then re-name the file to what I want from windows explorer, open it up in word, work on it and save it again. Even with the new file name I can't do a save-as and save it as a different file.
All the other folders under the share that inherit rights from the parent folder work.
eg save-as in \\server\share\folder or below works
save-as it in \\server\share\no_inheritance or below does not work
Anyone have any ideas?

Problems saving/exporting with Opacity Mask in Illustrator CS6

Hi, I'm very new to illustrator and self taught. I'm having issues exporting a file with opacity masks to PDF. I have a file with three layers, each with a opacity mask. When I save the file as a PDF, the opacity masks seem to disappear (or they are flattened). I've tried creating a new document and creating it again with no luck. Where am I going wrong? I just want it to look like it does in Illustrator when its exported! Heres the file: Dropbox - BB Logo.ai
Ideally I'd like to export it to a JPEG or PNG whilst maintaining the opacity masks to give the logo texture. Any suggestions?
I appreciate any help! Thanks
Its a little hard to see but heres an Illustrator screenshot:
PDF screenshot:
Thanks for looking!!

You'll need to outline the text and provide the mask image.
Apart from that: looks to me like a problem with resolution. There's a structure in your exported file, but it's smoothed.
Without knowing what exactly you did step by step it's difficult to solve this problem.

Anyone having problems saving attachments.

I am unable to save my downloaded email attachments. I tap the check icon but nothing happens. Tried holding down on the page that doesn't work either. Rebooted several times to no avail.

Sme attachments that come in emails can be viewed on the iPad but you must have an appropriate app in order to save them to your iPad.
Photos are the exception as the iPad comes with the Photos app.
To save Word docs you need an app that can read and write those kind of docs. I use Pages for word processing.
I use iBooks to save and read PDFs. But there are numerous other apps for PDFs.
What type of documents are you trying to save? Knowing that will help us suggest an appropriate app.

Mail in Mavericks : problem saving attachments

Hi,
When I save an attachment in Mail (Mavericks) it works.
But when there is already a file with this name on the disk, Mail asks if I want to replace the file (fine so far).
If I click yes, the file is not overwritten !?
Do you also experience this ?
Is it a bug ?
Thanks for your feedback

It is definitely unacceptable

I believe that you have gone into the iPhoto library and made changes using photoshop - is that correct
If so then you have trashed your iPhoto library and must put it back exactly as it was - loading a backup is the easiest (probably the only) way
NEVER make any changes to the content or structure of the iPhoto library using the finder or any program that is not fully iPhoto aware

HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox.

do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.

Absolutely INFURIATING.
I have spent absolute hours building a photo album for the first year or my sons life. Sorting through quite literally thousands and thousands of images. Got a brilliant looking album using 177 of them.
Now everytime I try to check out it won't get past page 1 of building the book.
It says the following "There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.".
The images all look perfect. I have even tried taking them out and re adding the first page images from the library.
Same problem.
This is so annoying. So far I have NOT been happy with this iphoto application having nothing but problems with missing thumbnails. Corrupted images. Things that have never happened to me using a windows machine.

Do the filenames contain special characters, like "ä,ü,..." or white space or are the vry long? Is there anything special about the image format? Try to export the edited versions in that case and reimport it with a different, shorter filename.
For testing, create a new book with only the images you want to check.
If this does not fix it, try rebuilding. Depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library.
