QuickTime Pro won't let me save a file from a website

I have QuickTime Pro 7.0 Normally I can right click a link in Mail and select, "Download linked file" and it will allow me to save an MP3. Not this time. Other times, once actually on a website, I can click on the button on the web based version of QuickTime and save a local copy. However, I can't do that on this website:
http://survive2thrive.gsradio.net:8080/120309.mp3
Does anyone know why?
Thanks!

Copy the URL.
In Safari open the download window (Cmd-Opt-L)
Paste.
OR
Paste the URL in the Addressfield
Option-Return and the file will download.

Acrobat 8 Pro won't let me save over files

This is just really bugging me - I work in Indesign CS5 and save file as a pdf. I open pdf too check ok and email to client. Then when I amend my Indesign file and resave over that pdf I get this message everytime:
Cannot save to the file "XXX" You may not have permission or the file may be in use.
And consequently, I have to go into the folder and delete it before I can save. It's not in use, it's definitely closed!
Does anyone else have this problem?

Same here Suzie - on my Mac all I'm doing is creating a simple PDF from ID. When I alter it and export as PDF, saving to the desktop to overwrite the previous version it goes through the motions - then up comes this message.
If Bill is assuming correctly that you're on Windows then its a Mac OSX problem too.
Acrobat is dormant here - only ID open.

Hit the link for the PDF-you will be given option to open in safari or iBooks(or any other program able o open PDFs).
That's not what she asked about. She asked about saving PDFs, not just opening them and reading them. While Safari lets you open PDF documents, it does not let you save them. In order to save them, you'll need to use a web browser that permits downloading. I use Atomic Web Browser and can confirm that it does permit downloading and saving of PDF documents.

When you open a pdf in iBooks, it's automatially saved there.

Acrobat Pro won't let me save previously saved pdf

Acrobat won't let me save current marked-up pdf even though I saved it halfway through. "Save" is grayed out, and when I click "Save As" and try to save with a new name, it says the doc can't be saved because the device is not ready. It won't even let me save it to Acrobat.com. Help! Can't lose all my comments and markups.

Well, now it doesn't matter, because when I went back to the doc, all the text had disappeared in the doc...it only showed my markups. What does this mean?!

Quicktime Pro won't let me download video

I've just upgraded Quicktime to Quicktime Pro so that I can download video from my Canon digital camcorder for use with Logger Pro for my physics classes.
Quicktime now shows several options that weren't available with just the player, but it does not show the option to open a "New Video Recording" as the online help file says it should. I have my camcorder connected to my pc by firewire and it works fine to download video to my computer with Windows Movie Maker.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Deanna in OR

QuickTime Pro for Windows does not allow "New Video Recording". Audio files only.
New video recording is only a feature of the Mac version of the Pro upgrade.
Use Movie Maker to create your files and convert them to QuickTIme formats using the Pro upgrade.

Admin permissions won't let me save photoshop files

I moved my MacBook Pro to my son and made him administrator. That worked fine, but now something must have happened because he now can't save Photoshop files anymore as photoshop says he doesn't have permissions. He's running Snow Leopard as he has to use Canvas X, which won't run in Lion. Anyone have an idea what may be screwing up permissions? He did run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility. He is listed as the administrator in Accounts. He also made sure the file Get Info permissions allowed the Admin. He even changed the Get Info permissions to enable everyone.

He's just trying to save a tiff file from PhotoShop back over the original tiff on the Mac's internal hard drive.
He changed the permissions to allow everyone access on the original tiff that he had Opened in PhotoShop.
A little more history: He had an unrecoverable hard drive crash about 2 months ago. So we installed the backup drive that had a SuperDuper copy of the crashed drive that was about 3 weeks old (from the crashed drive's data).
This drive worked fine until this week when the clock reset to 2000. That's the same time the permissions problems started.
I had earlier made him the administrator, but now he had to login with my password and I was shown as the startup admin. Since I was the original owner and admin, I had placed all my applications in the top level Applications folder of the hard drive, not in my Home Applications folder; and now it appeared that he only had access to Applications in the Home folder as a User instead of Admin, thus explaining why he didn't have access to the applications he needed.
So he reset the PRAM to address the clock and other screwy things.
Now he is shown as the administrator in System Preferences>Accounts, but without the permissions of an administrator.

Quicktime Pro won't open an MPEG movie file with the Quicktime icon

What am I missing? Not getting? I have several MPEG movie files that proudly sport the Quicktime icon, but the Quicktime app tells me they're not movie files.
If Quicktime won't open them, is there conversion software I can use?
So much for productivity.

Didn't even consider it. I thought that because the file displayed the Quicktime icon and because I have Quicktime Pro, that Quicktime would play the file.
Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. However, now that you understand the problem, you can work on a solution. Basically, if by MPEG your are referring to common MPEG-2/MP2 content 'multiplexed" to an MPEG container, these can be played in the QT Player (or Front Row or iTunes) if you install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99). However, be advised that this is a video only component, so it does not make "muxed" AC3 MPEG-2 files playback compatible with the QT player. Luckily, if you do decide to install this component, the free MPEG Streamclip application will allow you to play or convert such files to any QT compatible audio and video format for which you system is configured. Or, if all you want to do is play MPEG-2 video files without investing in the QT component, then you can view them with VLC but may have trouble converting them to a QT compatible format. HandBrake will also convert them without investing in the MPEG-2 component, but greatly limits your conversion possibilities. I personally would recommend buying the component as Neil recommended since it offers the greatest flexibility for playing without conversion, as well as, the most conversion options for all normal MPEP-2 Program and Transport Stream files you are likely to encounter using QT 7 Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip depending on the specific source content what you want to do with the final files.

Firefox won't let me run and executable from the website-it wants to save it

Looks like I lost all this information when I clicked to install the troubleshooter???
again-- problem is I deleted old Internet Explorer and tried to install I.E. 8. With Firefox, I can't click download and choose run. When I click download I can only save.
The saved download doesn't produce a file that works (it just tries to install I.E. , cleans off old files and restarts the PC OVER AND OVER.)
I would like the choice to RUN a file instead of saving but I can't find out how to get this option back.
I disabled all plugins, add ons, looked for possible limiting causes in Firefox to disable. STILL--I have NO CHOICE.
Maybe this plea for help won't fix my problem and I will have to REPAIR windows--hate to risk it--I would have to back everything up, etc.
Hopefully a simple answer to this question will solve my problem.
Thank you to all who consider my question. I appreciate your time.
Libby

Hi--
Thanks for the response. I was sure I used to have the choice to '''run '''or '''save '''when I started using Firefox and somehow I lost it with one of my adjustments. Forgot how or what I did!
Before going back to Microsoft to try that I.E. program file again, I tried one more time to run it. That was the 5th time I tried to install I.E. from the saved file --and it worked!
However, after that I tried to download an executable file from malwarebytes--- with and without my Kaspersky internet security program on--- the file RAN automatically anyway instead of insisting on SAVING!
Maybe this was a microsoft issue?
I am relieved that all is settled. Always try things 3 or more times is the rule with computers, right?
But thanks for the tips--I may need them someday. Likewise the Safe mode w/ network support tip.
ALSO--The page you referred me to was one I hadn't found with my own searching--it was much much better than the others. I bookmarked it.
Thanks again...

Illustrator won't let me save any files

I have tried everything I know how, but Illustrator will not let me save any of my files on it in any format, how do I fix this?

calliet,
It may be time for the list (you may skip 5) in this case).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

IUploader Issue, not letting me save excel file from within email, as it shows in directions, why not?

I have been researching for hours how to be able to browse to and select an excel file to upload, when on a website that has an upload button.
From my research, it stated in iUploader, a user should be able to download an excel file and store it in iUploader's app, and then visit website in iUploader's browser and then select the file from there in order to upload it.
Well, I can't even get the stupid app to save it as it shows in screen prints directions within the apps home page.
Anyone else having this issue and did you figure out how to do this?

No, that doesn't work for me. And things seem to be inconsistent. Where it lets you vary the file size (small/medium/large/actual) when large and actual are the same, it doesn't send the actual jpeg file for windows to open. When large and actual size files are different when you toggle between the two, the file seems to go through to my windows pc ok. When I tried this through preview, that's when I noticed this difference, not through just email or Aperture yet. Help!

For some reason pages won't let me save a document from using a template?

the save button doesnt even show only save as. does anyone know how to solve this please?

What save button are we talking about? There is none.
A template is always Save As… otherwise you would overwrite the template.
A template is a template, it is the start of another document but set up as a good starting point.

I recently bought an external hard drive and plugged it into my Macbook Air and it won't let me save any files onto it, how do I fix this?

Please help me!

Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.

Indesign won't let me drag in files from the library

I did this fine on a mac, but on my windows Vista using CS4, I cannot drag with my mouse from the .indl library file. I get the locked symbol when I try.
I have restarted Indesign and reset my preferences but still no luck. I have no idea why this is happening. Can anyone help me?

The first question is: can you use Place Item from the Library panel to place the same items?
If not, there's something wrong with your library file.
If so, there's something wrong with dragging/dropping.
Could it be that you have two copies of the same library open? That can happen after a crash. It can result in this kind of mysterious behavior.

IWork bug won't let me save in new folders

Hi I'd like to know why all my iWork apps won't let me save my files in new locations.
Every time I try to save something it only lets me save my file to the page it automatically shows me (my documents).
When I try to make a new folder within my documents to save my files, it tells me that the folder is a read-only location. See picture here:
When I checked the permissions in the info of my documents, or the subfolder I try to make new folder in, it says that anyone who accesses my computer can read and write. See picture here:
Please let me know how I can resolve this because I find it very hassle at this point to organize my files without this feature. I have already restarted the computer, Repaired and verified disk permissions, updated all the software and nothing seems to be working. The only way I can make new folders is by making one through Finder first, placing it in the right location, and saving my files there.
Thanks

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I have both a MacBook Pro and macair but the pro won't let me in I think it something to do with hard disc or permissions as it says system profiler in utilities , if anyone could help I'd be very grateful

Restart the MBP and immediately hold the option key down. Release the key when you see the Apple logo. The computer will boot and show you a screen with two hard drive icons.
Select Recovery and hit Return.
On the new screen, select Disk Utility and hit Return.
In DU do this:
In the list at the left, select the name of your hard drive. (Be sure to select the name that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
When that is done, click Repair Permissions. Be patient!
When that is done, quit DU and restart in the usual way.
