Pse 5 unable to save edits

I have hade pse 5 for several years. All of a sudden, I can't save edits. I get error message, "Unable to save. Computer error." What to do?

Thank you for your response.
I'll reinstall PSE and see what happens. The error message has changed to "an error in the program has occurred." Doesn't state which error, but does lead to the conclusion that reinstalling would be a good idea.

Not clear if this problem relates to all edits or just one or two pictures. My suggested acton is
1) use Vista to copy these pictures to somewhere safe (CD/DVD, another computer).
2) make another copy of the picture e.g. copy fred.jpg to fred_xx.jpg; and see if edit works on the new file.
The key thing at the moment must be to save the pictures.
Once the pictures are secure then you can worry about PSE. If the pictures are OK then my next move would be to reinstall PSE5 (this will not have any impact on albums or configurations as you are only reloading the source code)
The fact that you do not have other copies of pictures highlights the need for backups and file management of pictures. My action is always to bring all the pictures (good and bad) from the camera into a picture_download file which is stored on two different hard drives (in my case a separate computer). I then copy the pictures to the Adobe work area and do all the deletions, corrections there. Hence, if disaster strikes, I can always go back to the original.

PSE 7...Unable to save edited photos in a version set

I am suddenly unable to save my edited photos in a version set. The edited photo is being saved on the hard drive but is not linked to the previous photo nor is visable in the open catalog. This issue in occuring in only one catalog but not in others. Thanks for any help.

You may be encountering a known bug. To troubleshoot:
1. In the Organizer, select one of the problem photos (the original, not the edited), right-click it, and do Show Properties. What is the full, precise path of the photo, shown to the right of the yellow folder icon at the bottom of the Properties window?
2. Do Help > System Info. What is the precise path given for Catalog Location?

Unable to save edited files

Hello Group,
Has anyone experienced this problem?? We have had this
problem 2 times, and it seems related to after a Windows automatic
update as run. Platform is an HP laptop, running windows XP.
We have several *.cp files. We open one file, and delete an
audio track from a slide, and then attempt to save the edited file.
The edited file will not save. For some reason Captivate
still sees the "different" file name as the same name as previous
file. The edit is not saved. We even created a new folder on the
C:\ drive, and copy a file in, open it, or attempt to open an
edited file that somehow got saved, and then Captivate say "this
file is in a format that captivate does not recogize"
Has anyone else seen something like this?
captivate seems to work ok on my desktop pc, but not the
laptop??? Perhaps it is some sort of problem with the laptop
Thanks,
eholz1

I was wondering if either of you have had any luck nailing
down this problem. We are experiencing it on one of our laptops as
well and I have been baffled by it.
The laptop is a Dell with XP SP2, it was running Captivate
1.0.1 for a while and was upgrade to Captivate 2.0 without removing
Captivate 1. This configuration has worked for months, but suddenly
I can't save anything. If you hit save the hourglass pops up and
goes away with no error messages, but the * in the titlebar
indicating unsaved changes is still there and when I try to close
it asks to save. If I say no or cancel it acts properly, but if I
hit yes to save it, is just goes back to Captivate and doesn't
close or save. Save As will save a file, but it is usually corrupt
when I try to open it later, and the * still doesn't go away.
I have gone so far as to run ProcessMonitor from Sysinternals
but it doesn't show any errors. It doesn't even show that it is
trying to save it. If there are any patches or updates for
Captivate 2 I have been unable to find them on Adobe's site.

Unable to save edited PDF from IE

We have several PDF forms that users fill out from the web. The forms are presented with ColdFusion. There are 2 scenarios. The users will sometimes pull up an already existing form to edit and saveit. Other times they need to create the form from PDF templates. it is presented with a cfpdfform tag.
When the user opens an existing form with a link and Adobe Reader is set up to open within the IE browser they cannot save the edited file. A dialogue box pops up stating the file alread exists, would you like to replace it. If you answer yes to this another dialogue box pops up stating :"The document could not be saved. This file is already open". If Adobe PDF is set to NOT open in the browser and the form comes up in Adobe then the save works fine. However, setting Adobe Reader to not open in the browser doesn't work well when the user needs to create from the PDF template. When the file opens in Adobe the user can save it however, all file pathing and filenames are lost. it generates temporary filenames and wants to save it to ...Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\SWGQJPOR.
A couple of questions. Anyone know how to get the already existing PDF to save when opened from within the browser? or if not, anyone know how to get the pathing to stay on the file when it is opened in Adobe?
I'm using Acrobat X to build the template and IE 7 and IE8 for browsers. Any help is definitely appreciated. thanks

Thanks! I tried that and tested and it worked! Such a simple solution to a frustrating problem! Thank you again!

Unable to save edited pdf.

After editing a pdf file, it wont save with the same name - says document is read-only or another user has it open (both not true). After saving to another name, I delete the first file. It appears to go away, but when I refresh the screen, it comes back. Using Acrobat XI (11.0.06) on Windows 7 Pro.

Thanks! I tried that and tested and it worked! Such a simple solution to a frustrating problem! Thank you again!

Today while working on PS Elements 12 I was asked if I wanted to save my work. I said yes. After that I was unable to save my editing work on PSE 12. I use OS X Mavericks 10.9.3. Instead of saving my work I continue to get a "could not complete your request because of a program error. My work can't be saved. I tried downloading the Creative Cloud and tried both settings, save to the cloud and do not save to the cloud. Either way I cannot save my work and I am stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Sorry, but I don't understand. PSE has nothing at all to do with creative cloud. If you're saying that you can't save work in any program, that's probably something wrong with your OS X installation. If you just are having a problem in PSE, the first thing to do is to go to the editor's preferences>general, click this button, and restart the editor:

Unable to save data entered in editable field of IW37N output

Hi Gurus,
I have made one of the fields in IW37N ALV output as editable using exit IWOC0004. When I enter the values in the field, I am unable to save the data to the order. The orders are getting successfully released but the values entered are not saved in database. Please help.

Discovered that the problem was with the Adobe version. Updated version to 8.1.1 and installed Active X control software and things started working.

Unable to save PDF's that have editable fields

I am unable to save forms that have editable fields. I get the error "The document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk"
I am running windows xp, and started with reader 10.1.4 having this issue, now i upgraded to 11 and same results. My co workers can save the same form and i have over 80 gb of free space on my hard drive which is where i am saving it to. I have tried saving it to other locations on my hard drive but get the same message. I can however save pdf files that have no fillable forms in them just fine.
I could really use some help.
Thanks

Figured out prtected mode was set to enabled on startup. Turned that off and no more problems.

Unable to Save After Editing

Ok, so I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard on a Windows 8 operating system and I am having the slight problem that I am unable to save a document after editing it. If I change the colour of text in a pdf and then attempt to save it, Acrobat stops responding and will not save. I have been getting around this by shutting Adobe down using task manager, recovering the document, and then saving the recovered document; amazingly, this works fine! However, the last time I tried this, Adobe failed to recover the document, so this is not a viable solution. I have searched extensively online and have not found a solution to this problem. I have attempted unchecking enhanced security, but this has not worked. I am starting to understand that Adobe support is of a very poor quality, but perhaps some other Adobe user can help me. If there are Adobe employed moderators on this site, please look at this issue: being unable to save an edited document renders Adobe Acrobat completely useless for the purposes of my organization and, after all, we paid for this program. If this problem cannot be solved I will encourage my own organization and anyone with whom I confer on the subject to try other software, as Adobe is clearly inadequate.

What exact version of Acrobat do you have?
Does it work if you try to save the file under a new name?

Unable to open/edit Business rules v9.3

Hello,
I am unable to open/edit existing business rules in v9.3 in the AAS console. I get an error message: Exception occured: Please check your log for details.
Business rules have been working without issues for months. I checked the easserver.log and it is getting a java.lang.nullpointerexception when I try to open/edit rules. I have done all the normal checks/updates: restarted services, rebooted servers, checked provisioning, refreshed security from shared services, refreshed planning to essbase, logged into Planning first, etc.
I believe the issue occured when a business rule was deleted which "may" have been included in a sequence. Since I cannot open any BRs or sequences I cannot validate that assumption.
Another side note, I can create a BR and attached it to a location, but once I save it I am unable to open it. I have started looking thru the tables in the AAS RDB but it "seems" ok.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,
I have not come across this sort of issue before, if you don't find a solution then as a final measure I would backup up the repository and export all the rules/macros/variables etc to xml.
Then I would first redeploy the web application server and see if that helps, if not I would reconfigure the database and drop it and then import the xml back in.
Cheers

Unable to save ANY types of files in Elements 5.0

Today I was working with Elements, creating a photomanipulation. This involved several layers, including a background of a beach, a horse, and some text. I've done this before with this exact same program on this exact same computer and not had too many problems. But not today.
Today when I try to save my creation, in ANY format, I get this message:
Could not save as
"C:\Users\User\...\Untitled-1.jpg" because the file is already in use or was left open.
GAHH!!!! Well of COURSE the stupid file is open, I'm working ON IT and trying to save my work!!! If I try to close the file, I get the standard question:
Save changes to the Adobe Photoshop Elements document "Untitled-1" before closing?
to which if I say yes, I get the same old crap:
Could not save as
"C:\Users\User\...\Untitled-1.jpg" because the file is already in use or was left open.
Now if I select save as *PSD or *PDD, *SOMETIMES* it acts like it has saved my work, (Instead of just saying it can't) but when I look for what I saved, all I find are a bunch of crap files that can't be opened. Example:
Cannot open 'C:\Users]User\Pictures\Photo Manips\~ps2AA0.tmp' because it is the wrong type of file.
Please note that I never actually chose to save ANY files called ~ps2aa0.tmp at any point in this process.
So I am stuck in a vicious cycle where before everything was working just fine. And it's not just editing photos or doing manipulations. I can take a brand new blank canvas, scribble a line on it with a paintbrush, and I am completely and totally unable to save even the simplest thing in ANY format whatsoever.
I tried uninstalling Elements and reinstalling it and that did absolutely nothing, except cause me to lose all the special effect brushes I spent hours downloading. And when I started it back up, I was right where I was before, it even had the same custom color preloaded on the palette, as if it did not truly uninstall AT ALL. (Just the special brushes were missing, thanks for nothing!)
My computer is maybe 8 months old now, a nice Hewlitt Packard with Vista. I specifically bought this computer so I could do more things with my art and more photos, and the first thing I loaded on it was the Bamboo tablet by Wacom, which came with Photoshop Elements 5.0 free. I've been using it ever since with hardly a problem and now today, I can't save the simplest little thing, and it is really aggravating me to death.
ANY light that anyone could shed on this would be most appreciated. I'm sure it's something extremely stupid, like I found the secret invisible "do not save anything ever again" button and somehow managed to press it. Whatever it is, I can not for the life of me figure out how to make it work like it's SUPPOSED to work. Somebody please help me before I go stark raving mad.

Further note: I have uninstalled this stupid program now THREE different times, including using a registry cleaner, which then deleted my DVD drive, thankyouverymuch. And even after I got the DVD drive back so I could reinstall the program, it was like I'd never uninstalled it (with the exception of the custom brushes still being missing) right down to the canvas size and paint color I had been using when all this started.
So uninstalling it does nothing, resetting preferences does nothing... I can not save my work, period. I've been fighting with this for about 8 hours and I am so frustrated I could just throttle someone with my bare hands for putting me through this crap.
For a product that came bundled with a $200 graphics tablet, it sure isn't worth a damn. Anybody got any ideas? I'm at my wits' end here.

Unable to Save Interactive Form

Hi Experts,
I am unable to save any UI elements (viz. Table, Text Fields, etc) on an Interactive Form UI element created using NWDS.
Whenever I create new UI elements on the Interactive form and try clicking on Save Metadata Button of the NWDS the Button doesn't get disable. Similar issue is faced if I explicitily try to close the Interactive Form opened for editing. It gives a pop-up to save the interactive form. On clicking Yes on this pop-up it throws another pop-up that says Save Failed:Null
Installed version for NWDS is 2004s (version7.0 SP15)
The Program files folder on my desktop has the following folder structure
Program Files -> Adobe -> Designer7.1
Importing the form also results in the same issue
Can you please point out what I am missing?
Thank you
Regards
Abhishek Arya

hi Abhishek
did you get the solution to your problem?
i am also facing similar issue. whenever after making changes to interactive form i click on "Save Metadata" it has no effect on the form.
the form doesnt get saved and after reopening it shows blank form.
have you found out the reason behind this?

Unable to save in SQL Developer..

Screenshot I work for an enterprise support desk, and one of our clients uses SQL Developer. When he goes to save, he is unable to choose a location. If he clicks a directory on the left nothing populates, he cannot type in a directory at the top, and if he clicks save, the window flashes but no file is saved anywhere. Does any one have any idea what could cause this or a solution to this problem.

I do not know much about SQL Developer, one of the 1300 users we support uses it.
From what I understood while troublehsooting, he is unable to save ANYTHING. Mostly he writes scripts in a workspace on the right side of the window, but I am not sure of the correct term.
When he clicks the directories, we single clicked, double clicked, triple clicked, doesn't matter how many times we clicked, nothing from that directory populated. For example, if he tried to save to the dekstop and double clicked the deskop icon on the left of the save window, no items or folders that exist on his desktop populate in the navigation panel on the right.
You cannot save to a local hard drive because you cannot save anywhere.... you cannot decided whether you want tos ave to a network location or a local location because you cannot navigate to where you want to save in the first place, hence why we are having this discussion.

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

Unable to save exported Aperture TIFFs as jegs when opened in Photoshop

I'm using the latest version of Aperture and need to do major retouching of the images I have edited using Aperture. When I "export versions" of the images, I normally choose "TIFF-50% of size" or "TIFF - fit within 1024x1024", but when I open them with Photoshop, after I worked on them I am unable to save them as a jpeg. The option just doesn't come up.
The only save options I am offered are - SAVE AS - Photoshop, Cineon, Dicom, FXG, IFF Format, Large Document Format, Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, PNG, Portable Bit Map or TIFF.
Any idea why this is happening and how I can rectify? I need to use photoshop for my retouching and I don't want to have to export RAW files from Aperture, it's much simpler exporting a TIFF.

The tiff is a 16 bit file. Go to images/on the photoshop menu and convert to 8 bit. then the jpeg option will show up.
Cheers
