"Save all" in Preview

I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm using Preview on Mac OSX 10.6. I accidentally selected "Save all" while a PDF was open in Preview, and now ALL my PDF icons (even 1-page PDFs) have that curled top right hand corner and I cannot edit ANY PDF any more. Options such as resize etc. are grayed out. The only save option I have is "Save as" to save a new copy. Can someone please tell me how to reverse this and go back to what it was before? Thanks.

Apologies - I seem to have solved the problem now.

Where is " SAVE ALL " in Preview?

In M. Lion, " Save All " in Preview disappeared, so how to use this function after editing a pack of photo???

This has not been my experience.
When, in this test case, I select and change the size of 4 image files, and the do as you say, clicking on "Save" in the drop down menu under "File" while all are still selected, I do see the file sizes change in the folder they're in.
However, when I close the window (above), then the laborious saving of each, individual file still pops up, and one by one each must still be saved.
It was so much easier just to "Save All" before. This seems to fall under the proverbial, 'fixing what ain't broke.'
Either I'm not explaining myself clearly, or I'm not clear on some simple step/s here ... or Preview has, indeed been made harder to use.

I have a mac air and an iMac and both have Pages. I use Pages on my air and save all documents to iCloud. I can see them on my iMac but it won't open with Pages. It becomes visible if I change it to open with preview but I can't interact with it.

I have an mac air and an iMac 5k - pages runs on both. I use pages on my air and save all my documents to iCloud drive. I can see the documents on my iMac but some won't open in pages which is bizarre? They will open if I change it to open with preview but then all I can do is read it - I can't add to the document - All I want is to be able to see all my documents on all my devices and to be able to have them sync so I can add to the documents from any of my devices. I also have an iPhone 6 and an iPadair2 but I would be happy just to have the iMac and macair sync for starters. I have folders within folders in my documents,. The folders which contain pdf's and individual files open OK . The one I am having difficulty with is the file which I use for ongoing correspondence - in other words it is quite long - I keep adding to it ( by copying letters in and letters out so I can see a sequential history of what has been going on by scrolling down ) in date order so that it could be 1 - 100 pages long - but I don't think the size is a problem. I don't understand why some folders can open and others not . Has anyone any suggestions please. I have been trying to get this to work for months since iCloud drive came in. It has got much better but it is still not good enough - or maybe it's me?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

"Save All" not working in Preview

Hi, all. I tried diligently to find the answer to this question in the forum and on the web before posting.
I am a new Mac user with a new MBP. I found several articles about easily batch resizing images using the Preview tool. The process is straight forward: open all images in Preview, select all, Tools > Adjust size... > [configure] > "Go"; then File > Save All. Enter my problem here. When I select "Save All", Preview appears to be saving all images (evidenced by a progress bar). Somewhere in the progress, it'll ask if I want to overwrite an image (appears to be the first image, sequentially, selected in the group). I confirm the overwrite and Preview finishes. However, all images are actually not successfully saved. I know this because the images when viewed in Finder are not resized. Also, there are other small clues. E.g. the one image that it asked to overwrite is successfully resized; the thumbnail for the resized image refreshes as a smaller thumbnail, while the others stay the same; also, if I click to exit, Preview will show me a list of unsaved images (all except the one that did save) and ask me if I want to saved them. I have exhausted all possible ways of selecting a few, selecting all > resizing and then saving. I have tinkered with various settings in Preview to see if I could jostle anything to make it work. The bottom line is Preview will only save one image at a time for me despite the "Save All" button.
Any help to resolve this or otherwise workaround it is much appreciated. I have about 1000 images in all that need to be batch resized.
Thank you!

Welcome to Discussions.
It sounds like you may be selecting the contents of a single image rather than selecting the files. You don't want to Select All for the larger image on the left. Make sure that you click on a file in Preview's Sidebar on the right before using Select All. The names of the files in the Sidebar should all be highlighted in blue after you Select All.
Also, what you are doing overwrites the larger files and can't be undone. You might want to make duplicate folders of the things you are resizing and resize the copies.

How differs soft proofing in View - Proof Colors and Save for Web - Preview?

Hi, I'm currently confused with one inconsistency. My working space is Adobe RGB and I use calibrated monitor. After I finish my work on image I go to View -> Proof Colors -> Internet Standard RGB. Image looks terribly with the overall violet/purple hue. Then I open Save for Web dialogue, I check Convert to RGB and from Preview options I select again Internet Standard RGB. Now the previewed image looks as expected. The same results I get if I manually convert image to sRGB before soft proofing and saving for web. So... what's the difference between preview in Proof Colours and in Save for Web? Thank you for your opinions.

Hi 21, thank you for your input. All what you say makes perfect sense, it is exactly how it should work and how I expected it works. My problem was, that while testing this theory in practice, I have come to different results. I expected, that if I stick to the theory (meaning keeping in mind all rules you perfectly described) I should get the same result in both soft proof and save for web preview. But... it was not the case. Save for web preview offered expected results while soft proof was completely out of any assumptions and colours were totally over-saturated with violet/purple hue. Also, Edit -> Assign Profile -> sRGB gave another result then Soft Proof -> Custom -> assign sRGB (preserve numbers), but the same as save for web preview. What troubled me was why this is so.
Today I've made tests on hardware calibrated monitor and... everything works exactly as you describe and as I expected.
Then I went back to another monitor which is software calibrated (both monitors are calibrated with X-Rite i1 Display Pro). And again... I received strange results described above. So I did the last thing I thought and disabled colour calibration on that monitor. And suddenly... both soft proof and save for web preview gave the same result.
Probable conclusion: soft proof and save for web preview (together with Edit -> Assign Profile) are programmed to use different algorithm which is evident on standard gamut monitors with software calibration. Question can be closed.
Gene and 21, thank you for your effort.

Please give us back "Save as" in Preview

I typically save high-quality PNG images from my 3D software, but send clients JPG images as proofs, during a working process.
The lack of "Save as" in Preview means extra steps for me now. I have to first create a "duplicate", then save it. "Versions" is a wonderful idea, but please let us have "Save as" too, so I can keep my faster workflow.
(I've submitted this directly to Apple, but in case staff members read these posts, thought I'd add it here too.)
Thank you.

Sorry LionDeveloper but I'm not buying that explanation. What more do I need to know about "how files work"?
I've followed 4 or 5 "how to" suggestions including Duplicate but none will allow me to actually save my resized image. I can get to the Save dialogue box but when I try to save the resized image it tells me I don't have permission to save it.
I am so incredibly frustrated with this I'm seriously considering reverting back to Snow Leopard!
For now I'm having to do all this work on my PC because I can't do it on my Mac anymore (since upgrading to Lion)!
Signed,
One (now) frustrated Mac user
EDIT: OK, I've found that "Export" will allow me to reduce then save like I want to do but I still want the old "Save As" functionality back. Thanks

Using tab groups but Firefox 28.0 crashes and even can not save all tabs in archive recently

Hi. I installed tab groups addon on my firefox 28.0 (firefox portable version) and each group has its tabs. of course. Problem is that Firefox crashes when i work on a group with the tabs and even can not save all tabs in archive as MAFF recently too. When i try to save all tabs in archive as... i choose the name and hit save and wait but after some time this crashes too. Last time i saved all my tabs and groups as MAFF or other file was end of april and since then i can not save them anymore because of the crashing.
I read on the help site to delete Firefox then reinstall ect. to fix problems but I DO NOT want to erase my groups with their tabs as i chose this solution working with group tabs as it would be to hard on my cpu when i use for each group a different browser for example.
Please help me fix this problem with the crashes but without loosing my groups and its tabs as they are all important and do not wish to erase them as i use them all.
Thanks and hope for a soon reply :)

Can you give me your crash reports?
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and paste them into your response here.

Apple, please fix this bug. Sending scanned images to "Pictures" is not what I want nor what I was able to do in every previous operation system. I want to save all scanned items in a specific folder - NOT "PICTURES" Please fix this bug NOW!

I only use Image Capture, so I can't speak for other software.
Here is how I select a Scan To destination:
If you are using the minimal details screen, you should have the same submenu to the left of the page size.

RH 8 crashes on Save All when copying content between two open projects

[Win XP SP2] I've submitted a bug report for this issue. Note that RH does seem to save the content as it's dying (a very noble act, I must say), but the behavior is bothersome.
******BUG******
With two instances of RH8 running (dual monitors), and copying content from one project to another, the instance receiving the added content crashes when you click Save All.
Steps:
1. Open RH 1
2. Open RH 2
3. Copy content in RH 2 and paste it into RH 1
4. In RH 1, click Save All
Results: RH 1 crashes (RH 2 does not)
Expected Result: RH 1 does not crash

I would try another one with each of these documents.
Create a new document with 2 pages.
Name the master pages so, that their names are not conflicting with neither of these 2 document’s masters.
Delete every style in that empty document, also any swatch
No drag the pages of the first document into such an empty document.
Do the same step 1 to 4 with the second document in a NEW empty document.
Now you have 2 new documents. Take care that no conflicting master names appear.
In each of these documents create in each style panel a folder and drag all used styles in that folder.
Save both documents
Try again to insert the pages of both documents.
Otherwise, it this does not work out, could you send me via private message the files or a link. I would check it with a Debugging Version of InDesign (InDesign DEV) I can use to find errors.

How do I use my I cloud account to save all my data no my device? I purchase $ 100 dollars deal because my phone memory was almost full.

How do I use my I cloud account to save all my data no my device? I purchase $ 100 dollars deal because my phone memory was almost full.

If you're asking if there is a way to add memory to your device, there isn't. iOS devices have a fixed capacity that can't be expanded by using expansion cards or other hardware solutions.
If you're running out of capacity on your devices, the only solution is to store less on your phone. You can import your photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then delete it from your device. If you still want some of the photos on your device, put them in a folder on your computer then select the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your device.
You can also sync only some of your music to your device rather than your entire library, or subscribe to iTunes Match and stream it from iCloud. You can also not keep as many movies, tv shows and other media on your device.

Once I have synced my Google calendar to iCal, can I turn off syncing and save all info in iCal?

I have been using Google Calendar, and syncing info from it to my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now that all the info I originally entered into Google Calendar is on my Apple devices, can I turn off syncing it and save all the events, birthdays, etc. that were put into iCal up to this point? I have only been adding to my iCal via the Mac, iPad or iPhone for several months now, so it seems silly to keep using Google Calendar.

Unless you have backed up your iCal data, there is no way to retrieve the now missing data. To easily back up your calendar data, simply choose the Back up Database… option under the File menu in iCal.
Microsoft cautions users that deletion of the Entourage calendar in iCal—without first disabling the synchronization function with Entourage—will result in exactly the outcome you see.
If you have not subsequently synchronized with .Mac since you deleted the iCal calendar, you can selectively restore calendar files as a collection of calendars from .Mac by using the Reset Sync Data… option in the .Mac preference pane by launching System Preferences, pressing the .Mac icon then the Advanced tab, and waiting for your client list to update. Once you've done that, press the Reset Sync Data… button, choose Calendars from the drop down menu and pick the option to replace the data on your Macintosh with data stored on the .Mac servers.

Well I figured out my problem lol
Email a- original apple id email
Email b- original gamecenter id
Email c- the new gamecenter id
Email d- the temporary email for switching stuff
So originally I had Email a for apple id and icloud, and Email b for gamecenter. I wanted my gamecenter and apple id to be the same. Well today I went on my moms phone and saw that I was still on family sharing under Email d. That's when it hit me, your gamecenter, apple id, and icloud are the same account. By switching my gamecenter id to Email a, I turned that into my new apple id. Now my apple id is back to normal, and my gamecenter is Email c (I don't use Email b anymore so that's why I wanted to switch it).
Basically, my problem was being stupid enough not to think that your gamecenter was connected to your apple id. My problem came from switching my gamecenter email. So that's how to avoid this, don't be an idiot and think your gamecenter is a whole different account. For anyone who ever has this problem, that's why it happened haha.

I updated the phone before backing it up on iTunes, now the update wanted me to connect the phone with iTunes and it says the phones in recovery mode and it must be restored before its used with iTunes. I go to click restore and it says it will reset it to factory default and I'll lose all my current data. I have all my sons pictures and videos along with this notes. I can't lose all of this data! Please help!

You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....
