Problems with saving and versions

i know you're all preparing popcorn for the iPhone release, but maybe one or two have got a minute to read this and help me
i'm using lion for a while, and ever since i'm losing files.
my problem is not the system, maybe i just didn't get how to use it, but i'm blaming having lost my files. :/
so, there's versions, and autosave. but simetimes i dran 'n drop a file i'm working on trom my taskbar (the little icon next to the filename) to my desktop. sometimes, but not always, it's corrupted. i don't always notice right away, so when i close the document (without saving of course) it's just a file icon, but there is no possible way to open it without getting a message.
i don't know if i'm not using it right, but "they" say you don't have to save your files, they say your files are saving versions, but so many times i can't go back to a version.
also i'm using a lot of photoshop, and just now something happened, and not for the first time:
i opened up a .psd that i was working on yesterday. when i wanted to save it (with crtl-S), it said "Could not save *documentname*.psd because the file is already in use or was left open."
of course the file is in use and open. how does the mufassa expect me to save a file without opening it up? and why would i save a file without using it before? this is not the first time, and i always have to save it using a different name, and then delete the old file...
i might have a thinking problem, but maybe you can still help me out?
can someone update me on how to optimize my workflow, so i can spend more time working, and less time looking for files or restarting documents?
thx and peace,
Marc

Hi there
I'm a bit perplexed and more than a bit concerned with something you said:

The other person I worked with had no problems accessing and saving new versions of the file, but for some reason it fouled up on me. I've never had this happen before and was wondering why it happened and what I should do to avoid it happening again.
This seems to infer that you are sharing the same project with another person? If I'm correct in my understanding, there are two major things wrong here.
1. You cannot share a project in a fashion where two or more users make edits to it at the same time. Doing so is an open invitation to disaster.
2. In order for two or more users to have access to the same Captivate project, it would have to exist on a network drive. Editing projects while they are stored on a network resource is another open invitation to disaster.
The bottom line here is that Captivate files must be edited from the local C drive by a single author. You may copy them to a network location for the purposes of backing them up, but that's it.

Elements 11 problem with Saving to Version Set

I have upgraded toElements 11 but when i go to save a file to " save in version set with original" it will not let me, as the tick box is blanked out?

It maybe a question of permissions. Are you running from an administrators account or a user account? If the latter do you have full read/write permissions for the application? What operating system do you have ?
On Windows try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. Make sure you have the correct file path as there is more than one exe file. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
N.B. on 32 bit systems navigate to Program Files
Right click on each of the new desktop icons and launch by choosing “Run As Administrator”
Keep both applications running but try to edit and save a photo as before.

Problem with iPad and version 10.4.11

I just received an iPad as a gift but I have have been unable to sync it with my computer. To remedy this, I purchased Mac OS X version 10.6, only to find that it is not compatible with my computer. I have not been able to find a version 10.5 on-line to download. Is there any other way to set up an iPad? I cannot afford to buy a new computer at this time.

Using a friend's computer going to the Apple store to activate is fine but it's not going to be practical in the long term. In order to download OS updates and iTunes content a long term solution will be needed. The only way to do this is to acquire a copy of 10.5. As it's been discontinued now Ebay would probably be the best option. It's possible you may be able to get a copy from Apple customer service for a nominal fee.

Problems with saving and inserting pages

I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard. After I write a report and PDF it, I always have to insert other information in the report. This additional information is also been PDF. Why is it that sometimes it will not let me save the file after I have inserted new pages? It says the file is “read-only” but I saved the file a few minutes before. I have to save my changes to a new file name.
Other times, I am replacing pages, and it will not let me. I might be able to insert the new page but it will not let me delete the old page. It says the file is open by someone else. I am on a single laptop that is not on a LAN. When this happens I must save what I have and close the file. When I reopen the file I can delete the old page.
Is there something that should be checked or unchecked?

What is the JSP scriptlet code at line 6 ?
By looking at the code we can identify if there are any syntax errors, otherwise we can't really guess what might be the problem.

Problems with saving and sending info in PDF form

Hi,
I'm trying to make a PDF form in Indesign CS5, exporting it to PDF, opening in Acrobat 9 Pro, and get the form to be able to send the info I type in the fields.
So far I've had no problems making the form, exporting it, opening it in Acrobat 9 Pro, getting Acrobat 9 Pro to recognize the fields and save the form.
However, I'd opened the form and filled it out and attached it to an email, and when I got the email, the form was blank.
How do I get the form to save the data so it can be emailed?
thanks for any help.
Phil

(Acrobat Pro and Pro Extended) Choose Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader.
I have somehow solved the problem. I tried using the above direction and it seems to have fixed the problem. I don't seem to get the message about not being able to save anymore and can send a completed PDF form that retains the information typed into the form.
Thanks for all who made suggestions.
Phil

Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....

Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....is there some trick I am missing or do I need to make an appointment with a genius...

I have the MacIntosh volume and the Boot Camp partition only. I know that when I installed Lion, I had to go through a whole back-up and recovery of Windows and then re-format the drive.
The tech at the Apple Store had a previous life as a MSCE and was very helpful. I believe he even said that I should not have htis problem with Mountain Lion which is why they gave me the flash with it onboard. I was in the process of starting a new job when I went to Lion, so I have waited to do this next and probably last upgrade to this old MBP since I doubt Apple will support this MBP in Maverick.
I do not have another installation, so that is not an option. I will try to create an external, I have plenty of hard drives around and see if I can get it done that way. It might take me a week or two to get back to it, but I will comment back upon completion of that effort. Thanks for your help....Dave Iverson

I'm having problems with FlashPlayerPlugin and plugin-container. They keep starting up and bogging down the system. This has been a recent occurrance. I've made sure that I have the latest version. I notice the problem when I am opening some applicatio, and it freezes. If I go to Task Manager, I can see the two Adobe apps sucking up CPU cycles. If I end the processes, then the other apps continue. Today, I uninstalled FlashPlayerPluginqand plugin-container. All day since I have had no freezing of an app. What should I do to correct the problem?

Here's an explanation of what those processes are.

I'm curious about what you did to uninstall just those.

I've run into a problem with my trail version of Adobe Premier 13, and it appears to be a major one.

I’ve run into a problem with my trail version of Adobe Premier 13, and it appears to be a major one. Here’s what happened. Yesterday when I turned on the computer, I got a prompt asking if I wanted to link my Adobe Lightroom with Adobe Premier. I “x’d” the prompt but then the computer went into a “do not turn off” mode. 45 minutes later the computer was still prompting me not to turn it off. Thinking that the computer was hung up I did turn it off. Then I turned it back on, went to Adobe Lightroom to discover that all my work from the past three-to four years had disappeared.
At this point I am afraid to mess with Adobe Premier, so it’s still on my computer. I used Windows 7, Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 4. Do you think if I uninstalled my trial version of Adobe Premier 13, my work on Lightroom would return? Or is it lost?
Thanks to any who offer suggestions.

I was unaware that you could establish any direct linkage between Lightroom and Premiere Elements. Are you sure that the association was to be for Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom?
Have you tried to do a System Restore to a point before you installed Premiere Elements 13 or before you OK'd whatever this Lightroom linkage was?
Have you asked your question in the Adobe Lightroom Forum, asking about recovery of work lost from Lightroom? Have you found any traces of your lost Lightroom work in the Recycle Bin?

Problem with saving a pdf file to computer. Continually get an error message " This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21).

Need advice on a saving file issue. I'm having problem with saving a .pdf file to computer. Continually get an error message " This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21). This is new as this error message just recently started to pop-up.

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.

There certainly is a problem with itunes. I downloaded 9.2 and now it won't open. It won't recognize my iphone, either. I uninstalled it in the order recommended by the site, no joy. Deleted a configuration file, no joy. System Restore, no joy. All other software and hardware on the machine is working fine. I call AppleCare AND a local store, either they are completely clueless (which I doubt), or they have no idea how to fix it. I can't even back up my phone, or use the ipod. And since no one at Apple seems to care enough, I'll have to wait until the clamor is loud enough for them to even admit to a problem before I can use the ipod again.

Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

Hi guys, hope you can help...
I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
(this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
Thanks for your help.
DAve.

maybe I'm onto something...
I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
Any more realistic ideas?
